An employee has an obligation to his profession and his employer.  Trust must exist between the employer and the employee, as well as honesty and courtesy.

Sometimes, the toolings had to be sent out again to a different machining company to be fixed.  The engineers started to complain to the managers, but nothing was ever done, other than occasionally approving some tooling to go out to different machining companies.
