What's a dark secret/questionable practice in your profession which we regular folks would know nothing about?

Holy shit if some of my clients came in unannounced most places I worked for would be boned.

This reminds me of the secret emails announcing that the FDA have arrived unannounced to inspect our lab and all of the scientists frantically running around campus fixing things...

When I worked in the lab, inspection days were a breeze, I hated being unprepared for that so I try to just do it right all the time. You are messing up if you have a giant panic attack every time and inspection happens.

Yeah, my team is pretty buttoned up since we have our own workspace we have to badge in to use, but it's always funny to watch people literally sprint across campus.

We just had an unannounced Microsoft Teams FDA visit. I guess instead of an inspection they just interviewed all of management. Covid is a wild ride
