Feeling very battered…..

[Wilmslow]

Just had a round with the new Company Security manager.

Testing here is not something that happens. I am running a weekly training session on things like what a defect is, and introducing the concept of separate testing levels. As in, nobody could tell me ANY models of development, never mind why we need them.

Security manager wants me to also teach everything there is to know about Security Testing, and wants the training material re-written.

I pointed out the MTP template – he is insistent that security is not seen as part of Non Functional and we create this as a THIRD area.

Then again, he also wanted 500 laptops all encrypted immediately.

Yes, he is a permie….

Anyone else having fun?

this word testing - never heard of it. what does it mean?

[DimPrawn]

I've worked at Microsoft and they have over 100 million unpaid testers.

STFU and think of the rate.

Should be easy for him to rise to the dizzy heights where he starts telling others what to do and how to do it and get mega bucks

NO! Just had the dreaded call... I prefer my bench time when the weathers nice.

I think that this has made my decision for me……

There is going to be an incredible battle of wills happening next week between my boss when he is back, and the security manager.

He was talking about swim lanes, and aspirational kind of discussions without putting into context about the level we are actually at.

He seems to be one of those manipulative types, got all of management to sign to say it will happen.

Thinks that this makes this the biggest priority of the department.

Hahaha – NO WAY will I EVER consider going permie here.

There, my decision has been made. I do not want to be permie in a management controlled cess pit where it is a rare that we get the honour of having a managers door open.

I mean, I am teaching people about what a defect is, how we have different models of development for different reasons, then this complete muppet who has been here for literally THREE weeks wants us to ram security testing down peoples throats.

Yeah, great place to be…..

I've printed this off for when I have problems sleeping at night.
