...and QE's.   (snork, giggle).

tongue in check/
The trick to longterm employment as a QE (18 yr mark approaches, 
knock on wood) is to maintain a Goldilocks level of quality to exist.
That is to say;
    * Not too many defects or they will scapegoat you for not 
resolving the yield/reliability/field returns problem and give you a pinkslip.
    * Not too few defects or they will feel safe putting an 
Accountant w/ limited "real" mfg background in charge.
        * He will then conclude that QE's are no longer necessary. 
Reasoning that quality is everybody's job so why have QE's or a 
Quality Dept? He read Crosby after all (but not all of it).
    * But just the right level of Quality that keeps them 
appreciating you and your Company reputation & profitability intact
