I've found it's often a mistake to compromise on quality. Once you compromise on quality, it's a downward spiral from there, and it's difficult to recover from. Thanks for commenting Joe.

What happened? The product went out on the date, of course. We all got bonuses, of course. And then? You guessed it: The product failed miserably in the field due to very poor quality, the company lost much credibility, and most of us are now working elsewhere. I think your statement about the team and management being steadfast on quality is invaluable. Thank you.
