Part of the issue here is that companies are always trying to do more with less. Increasing the profit margin by reducing staff can only go so far before this leads to costs on the other side that end up in a loss of revenue and reputation. Unwillingness to hire people with the knowledge required, and unwillingness to train those that are employed, is leading to an environment where mistakes occur with regularity, and in some cases are extremely costly.
Good point, and this environment as you stated so accurately above, usually initiates and results in a never-ending chain of high turnover rate as well. Which just adds to the quality assurance problems they are already experiencing, because of what you stated above. In my experience in the past, a lot of these IT shops that are experiencing this condition, the management is either clueless or just doesn't care.:-D
