Not caring that I missed the promotion

My company has a new SQA manager. It isn't me. I was sad for a few seconds, then I was over it. The fact is, I told my manager I'm having fun doing what I'm doing. I'm solving problems customers are having. I fix problems in some of the software, collaborate on the design of other parts. I send leads to the sales department when a customer mentions something else they want. And I'm developing a training course that has everyone excited.

You know how I'm learning the parts of the system I'm developing the training for? Exploratory testing, of course. And oh, the bug reports are flying. For any bugs that aren't fixed before the training (most of them), I'll be prepared to show people how to dance around them.

Both customers and co-workers tell me they appreciate my work. That means a lot.

So again I've semi-willingly turned away from testing. But yet it's still with me every day.

Re: Not caring that I missed the promotion

The fact that your role includes such an interesting variety of work, in areas of your expertise, and that it's appreciated by those people affected, is pretty much the definition of an ideal job in my opinion. Good luck on finishing and implementing your training course.
