Air carrier technician reported while accomplishing a visual inspection of the elevator servo control fittings; they found corrosion and documented the discrepancy. The fittings are required to be replaced by the job card; but the discrepancy was signed off by another employee.

Narrative

On Day 0; I was assigned Aircraft X that had an aircraft readiness check; l3 door slide change; and Job Card J/C to check elevator servo controls and hinge bearings for play (J/C XXXXXXXXXXX). When looking for the tooling before starting the job; it was noticed we had missing contents for required tooling for J/C XXXXXXXXXXX. We proceeded to accomplish the readiness check and the l3 slide. The aircraft went out of service due to the elevator servo card being a priority item with no time remaining. We were told at XA:00 to drop the elevator panels; so we did. By XC:00 on Day 2; the new tool kit arrived at the office and were told to start the job with approximately 2 hours remaining of our shift. We explained that we do not have enough time to complete the job; and we could not find an adequate stopping point due to aircraft hydraulics having to remain on for the duration of J/C completion. We were told to go to the aircraft and performed the installation of tooling and performed the GVI per the J/C and found multiple bonding braids broken and corrosion found on the r/h elevator outboard servo control fwd attach fitting. J/C XXXXXXXXXXX on step 3b states - b. Make sure that the attachments of the elevator servo control have no signs of corrosion and no damage. (1) if the visual check of the elevator servo controls is not satisfactory: replace the related servo control unit. (ref: AMM task XX-XX-XX-XXX-XXX and XX-XX-XX-XXX-XXX). (2) if the visual check of the elevator servo controls attachment-fittings is not satisfactory: replace the related elevator servo controls attachment-fittings. (ref: AMM task XX-XX-XX-XXX-XXX and XX-XX-XX-XXX-XXX). Cc Person A signed off the corrosion per SRM XX-XX-XX-XXX instead of using the j/c for replacement of the corroded servo control attachment fitting. I overheard him in the office stating 'we can probably get away with just scrubbing it off'. This is negligent behavior and an act of heroism in order to find any way to get the aircraft out; even if the procedures are against the J/C.Cause: This was the quickest way to cover up the corrosion and sign off the discrepancy in order to get the aircraft out on time. The bonding braids were placed on monitor and the J/C was the priority to get completed to get the aircraft out asap.Suggestions: Disregard to airworthy repair instructions. Deviation from a job card does not correct the issue. Employee was caught purposely evading the correct repair instructions for company convenience.
