This is a question Twattery

Nigella Pussycat says: Tell us about utter twats doing remarkably twatty things. Or have you ever done something really twattish to a friend, loved one or pet? In summary: Twats

This could be fun for the employment tribunals eventually
We have a newish quality control system at work. Our product is sampled and errors are assigned on a Tier one (serious, though some of them are arguably not serious) Tier two and Tier three (typo eror etc) scale. Get enough Tier ones in a year and you can be looking at demotion, reduction in income etc. So it is damn serious for the person accused of making the error.

Trainees are supervised, so any errors they make are assigned to their supervisors. The supervisors typically have 8 or more years experience, some a lot more than that. The quality controllers are typically people with 4 - 5 years there.

So we have this situation. A supervisor goes on leave and a less experienced person acts in the position. The acting supervisor lets through a product that has a Tier one error, and the quality controller assigns the Tier one ping to the usual supervisor.

The usual supervisor points out that they were on leave and the supervision was actually done by someone else.

So the quality control twat demands documentary evidence from "human resources" that the supervisor was actually on leave.

I can see this shit ending up in a court some day.

That's crap. So quality control is basically 'don't make big mistakes', which rather misses the definition of mistake as in by-accident.

That is a hugely twattish.
