A good friend of mine was in QA at Boeing. He turned things away constantly, to a point where he was let go for being too much of a pain in the ass. They’ve been a dumpster fire for a long time.

Wow. Getting fired for actually doing your job. That's a great case of 'shooting the messenger'.

  In theory this is not supposed to happen because the QA organization reports directly to the top of the org chart. This structure was developed after some high profile quality failure episodes in the 1960s (Minuteman?).

  Need further information. I've met QAs in software that raise the dumbest "issues" I've ever seen.

    This doesn't look like a 'dumb' issue to me, no matter who you've met.

      What issue? I'm referring to a person being fired for reporting too many issues. I'm not talking about the issue in subject.

Yeah, calling attention to escapes is a good way to be on the short list for the next round of layoffs. So is having a LTD, or being old, or taking maternity/paternity, or taking more than a week of PTO at a time . . but none as sure-fire as flagging nonsense in parts lists.
