Yet management always gets the blame and the axe. Sure sometimes one of em covers up after the fact and then they deserve to loose their heads.
But it's good to see the blame where it belongs.

I'm an engineer and in my career I've met some really piss-poor engineers who manage to skate through life being totally incompetent, the other engineers just work harder to pick up the slack.
I'd bet the same is true at GM, prolly more so.
But management IS responsible for QA/QC. As someone in management, I've always been taught (and believed) that everything that happens, or fails to happen, is my fault. My job is to support my team and ensure they perform at the highest level. If they fail, it's because I failed them.
