Happens all the time. I used to work in a factory that worked with metal and after the pieces were painted, we were supposed to test the paint's thickness with a tool. You press sort of a pen on different parts of the piece and the screen gives you the average thickness. It was supposed to be within a certain set of tolerance.
I test my first piece and notice that the no matter where I test, the average is way above the tolerance limits. I ask around about what we should do and they tell me don't worry about it, just put whatever number that's within the tolerance limit.
Almost none of our pieces were within tolerance. Thankfully it wasn't for anything as crucial as submarine steel, but still.
Did you report them after ceasing your employment? This could've hypothetically caused deaths or else. :/
The metal pieces were made to be the casing to other machines from what I understood (I only worked there a month and didn't really care about these parts lol, no time to think about that on the production line), I figure at most uneven paint thickness would have made it easier to scrape off and made it a bit more difficult to fit them together.
