How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Here in Holland Test Managers get paid about 10% less than PMs but have about 90% less stress.Originally posted by VectraMan View PostPMs get paid lots for having no useful skillls, not contributing much of anything, taking credit for other people's work, and doing very little. And all they need to do to get on this gravy train is pay for a course in PRINZEY7, or some such silly acronym.
