DAE hear a guy at the supply house in Akron say he'd rather lose the job than fail a drop test?

I was standing in line at the counter off Route 18 last Tuesday and overheard two older installers going back and forth. One of them said he walked off a 40 unit apartment job because the builder wouldn't let him run the drops right, and he told the super flat out he'd rather lose the work than come back and fix 40 bad lines later. That stuck with me more than it probably should have, because I've been squeezing in shortcuts on tight schedules and telling myself it's fine. What's the line you draw with a builder who keeps pushing you to rush?
