Hi John,

Is this an actual true story? I'm lost for words...

Subject: [PSES] How to lose another million dollars

 

Prepare for sob story. Company X has implemented the sensible policy of
making the project leader internally responsible for EMC and safety
compliance, i.e., when the product is tested by the compliance experts, it
passes or has only minor defects. 

So John Doe takes his engineering model, scheduled for production in 9
months time to Compliance and asks for pre-compliance checks. No can do, is
the reply. Our new policy is that only products whose planned release date
is 4 months or less ahead can be checked.

Truly, nothing is fool-proof because Nature keeps producing more and more
ingenious fools.
