Have you encountered backstabbed outlets and switches while rewiring a house, and how did you address the issue of continuity on a circuit with neutral to hot readings?

I used to work for an electrical contractor who focused mostly on service jobs. We would occasionally wire a new house, maybe once a month. I remember one time I was finishing up wiring the kitchen receptacles and discovered that three of them were dead ends, which was strange with only two circuits. After tracing everything out, I found that the refrigerator outlet had four 12/2s in a deep box – one feed in and three out. When I brought this to the attention of the project manager (who happened to be the owner’s brother), he insisted that I just push all the wires into the E receptacles with four speedwire terminals. I expressed my concerns about potential failures, especially behind the refrigerator. His response? “We are a service company. This will generate future service work.” I went ahead and followed his instructions. Sure enough, about seven months later, I was sent back to that home due to multiple dead receptacles in the kitchen. The E receptacle behind the refrigerator had indeed failed. The company had to cover the cost of the service call under warranty. So much for promoting future service work…
