| So I had to replace an old DS 7400 Xi with a 9412GV2. The regular crew was
a

D5060

devices

| the appearance that the MX938 was working (since the LED came on). Even
| worse they "documented" this error in hand written as well as typed form
and
| left on the job. Okay then! Why were some MX938 devices wired and
programmed
| correctly and others done incorrectly when it was installed at the same
time
| by the same person (judging from the hand writing)? Stupid? Careless?
| Sabotage? This is a place where security is critical. The work was of
course
| originally done and later blessed by the big three letter company that
| starts with A. Does that company have any internal discipline staff or QC
| that should be notified? Or should I be a snitch rat and turn the
documents
| over to law enforcement as fraud. If this weren't the type of facility it
is
| I know that type of complaint would generally go nowhere. But this place
is
| the type with the profile and (full time federally paid three letter)
legal
| clout to cause serious trouble for someone, even ones with a fat three
| letter wallet, especially with the handwritten documents left behind. I am
| sure that the three letter company doesn't want to see these other three
| letter boys showing up on their doorstep. I believe I just saw stupidity
in
| action, but it could be an effort of a crime as well. I am puzzled. Has
| anyone here ever had experience with the pooper scooper going behind these
| companies and cleaning up their messes? Is this typical? I hope not. I
have
| seen lots of stuff that is pure crap as an installation but never
something
| exactly like this where it seems that a path of disabled devices is being
| created right under someone's nose, but made to look as if they functioned
| correctly. I am being too paranoid or not paranoid enough?
