  • It was probably a mix or “I don’t get this” and “I don’t feel like it”.

    Him “quitting” was because the other option was being fired and persecuted for falsifying safety documentation. He never actually did the tests, it was impossible to do so in less than a week, much less the day he claimed to do it in.


  • I worked as a tester for an embedded system, and there was a whole team of us. Our work was handed out in these big 3cm thick packets of testing sheets, with tables and graphs and instructions on how to test the system to make sure the code was safe for production.

    A coworker was evidently not wanting to do his work one day, and “finished” a packet the same day it was handed to him. Now a single page of those tests could easily take you a half hour, assuming the arcane instructions were even clear to you. And miraculously, every test was a pass, which was really strange because projects at that company typically had to go through dozens of rounds of testing before we’d be done.

    He “quit” before the next day.
