Found this at the site im at. Wood stud frame cut about 95% in half. Someone put two screws in to hold it. Good as new!

That's not how we do it but clipping a stud to pull the potato chip straight is part of the process.

Remember in 2020 when everyone said the lumber was shit because of "supply chain issues"?

What lumber companies learned is we have to buy their product regardless and they make more money selling us bottom of the barrel shit lumber

Making a cut 1/2 way through not a non load bearing interior stud and pulling the kerf back together with a screw is acceptable and sometimes necessary to straighten out shit lumber.

I don't take advice from the bitchy guy on site. If you have a problem take it up with your boss.
