hello, I presented the concerns to our GM, and QM present. Our GM suggested to allow the QM to issue an email stating that no action would be taken to address non conformances found during audits, the QM would assume the responsibility for this issue. I have tried to discuss my concerns, and offerred solutions to the known non conformances but the QM & GM do not believe the nonconformances are worth addressing with corrective action, since they didn't like the current CB (we are considering a cert transfer change to another CB), they assume that a different CB will go easy on us. This is the mind set of mngmnt.

sad to say, all the signs pointed to top management acquiescence - no QM in his right mind would go against top management.
