FYI: QA is quality assurance, for those who don't know.

Just blowing off steam. Communication really sucks around here. Will updates with story if anyone wants it.

Sounds like American Express!

Communication is hard and other workplaces aren't usually better. Unless when they are!

Just go with the "we're going to use advanced methodology techniques" line and drop AS9100 a few times.

I'm interested in hearing.

Woah, what? You work in QA already yeah? I work in a lab and it sounds like something they would do here it's so disorganised..

Heh. I once found out that I was to present when we were 10 minutes into the meeting. Yaaay... >_>

I take it you work for the same company that I do?

I got one better. 10 minutes before the meeting and I find out the execs want a demo on some software I have never used before.

9 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

Better yet. Finding out they want a demo of software you haven't even finished!

9 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

Wait, wait....Software can be finished? ... I’m a programmer, and I didn’t realize we were allowed this as an option. Where is this allowed?

that sounds like something that would happen to me. communication blows at my workplace.

How about just telling the story instead of asking if people want it... would have up voted but you left us while whoring for more points -1

These are the stupid, idiosyncratic moments of corporate buffoonery that don't cosmically mean shit but can derail an entire week.

I think you spelled "career" wrong.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 2

If you're up on your game, these are actually opportunities to accelerate your career. But nobody likes surprises.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Or advance your career. Know how to play the game and step up.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Absolutely! But if you're rigidly Type A like me and something like this gets thrust into your workflow...anger RISING

But then you take a deep breath and get in there and kick some ass.

I've walked into meetings before with no idea, and everyone just sits and looks at me to start.

Quality assurance? Assure them that you knew what was going on before hand
