    Absolutely correct. But the last time I had 'a manager' was October 2015 when I handed my notice in to him.

    6 months before that.

    1 year before that.

    Slotted in a three day gig at the same time as the 2 year one, I left as it wasn't what was 'sold' plus another I left early due to a family emergency.

    Want a copy of my cv?
    That's the spirit! Back at ya TD!

    Set up a process for stakeholder reviews of test designs last October / November - all stakeholders agreed. Project manager then decides to 'tweak' my process, moving activities around etc. I didn't like the changes, but there we are.

    First meeting today and halfway through everyone agrees it would be better if we had the activities in a different order - exactly the order I set up in the first place
