Re: The dilemma of Falsifying Inspection Results
I've only worked where I work now that handled aerospace products and they would never fake inspection results or anything like that. Even if I have reasons to try to keep my job until I can find another, I would still draw the line at end user safety whether it's a plane or a car. If that problem were ever presented then I would probably consult a lawyer.
I had worked in the automotive industry prior to working here - both production and prototype - where I've fabricated entire SPC charts, Machine Maintenance Logs, Internal Audits and Management Review meetings, for example. Happy about it? No. The two places that made me do this were very short employment periods - I was at one job for 3 months (I found a new job and quit) and the other for 5 months (I ended up being fired from this one because I finally said "no" and got into an argument with one of the owners).
I know for me I will never be a Quality Manager in the aerospace industry. All the examples I sited were aerospace companies. The liability, and the guilt, that would come back on me if a plane fell out of the sky would be more than I could handle.
