Moron Vs. Oxymoron

-

I had the luxury of working with insanely smart people.
I had the misery of working with mind numbingly inane people too.
I had the luxury of working for morons and reporting to oxymoron.
The moron are okay, they don't know any better. They can be educated.
The oxymoron's they do know better. They purposefully want you to swim against the currents just to prove a point to nobody, not even themselves. They cannot be reasoned with.
I would totally run from these!! And I have.

There is a plethora of examples explaining about a Developer's life. It is time to show the QA in the same "light". I am a QA and only some of these are my experiences. Which ones can you relate to? This is what they think QA are like This is what we wish QA could be like My first day on the job - I am introduced. Product training for QA I am trying to find my way through SharePoint It has always been like this. It's not a bug, don't log a ticket for it, the existing QA tell me. (Or maybe they do not want to admit that they missed a big fucking bug.) This is how Devs are trained about the project. This is how QAs are trained about the project I finally get my build to test.

This is a real story that happened between the customer of General Motors and its Customer-Care Executive. Pls read on..... A complaint was received by the Pontiac Division of General Motors: 'This is the second time I have written to you, and I don't blame you for not answering me, because I sounded crazy, but it is a fact that we have a tradition in our family of Ice-Cream for dessert after dinner each night, but the kind of ice cream varies so, every night, after we've eaten, the whole family votes on which kind of ice cream we should have and I drive down to the store to get it.

Every ticket was precious.   Then came agile and coincidentally data (storage data) also became bigger and cheaper. Everyone was allowed to log a ticket for ideas, issues, needs and wants. No topic was taboo (as long as it was within the scope of a project of course)   Tickets gave an opportunity for every team member to use their voice.
