Um, no, most certainly not.

When I tried to tell them the test had errors, I just got a stepford
wife smile and the tester asked me if I was done yet.

I *did* tell the IT guy, and it was obvious he knew it.  That's when he
started talking to me about the negatives of the shop.  He was the only
one who didn't give me a "streets of gold" view of the place.

Leave it up to the head geek to be honest... :)
