MT and QA people had so much trouble getting along. Only since I returned to this profession have I noticed it.
I am also of the mindset that when MQ wants to pitch me overboard I won't let it ruin my ego. I basically expect it every day and find myself surprised when I'm not let go for x or y reasons. I think the majority of us know far more than how this industry makes us feel. Maybe I'm all wrong here, but when I repeatedly read where the MT spends a lot of time on a report that has many blanks, it certainly can't be on purpose.
Is QA able to see when the report was started and also finished? Granted, if a person spent all that time, it'd be like kicking one's own butt. Try to picture that one!
I often feel like I'm the only one who gets disappointed when having to send a report with many blanks for even standard type expressions.
Hopefully we can try not to take all this stuff so personally. From what I read here, both MT and QA are not feeling warm and fuzzy.
