It seems that my manager thinks I'm a mushroom, too... she even started to put some teeth marks on my tail today.
A bit of background:
We used to have (and *officially* still have) six areas on our computer for testing, to be used in sequence. They were:
User -> Test region -> Unit region -> System region -> Quality region -> Production region
Well, because of various permissions issues, etc., our Group Lead told us -- repeatedly and vehemently, although never in print -- that the Test region "no longer exists" (direct quote). Yes, the section still physically *exists* on the system, but in the version of English that I grew up speaking, a statement like that is a pretty clear indication that you're not supposed to have anything further to do with the item in question.
[Our "command structure" goes Developer -> Group Lead -> Team Lead -> Manager, just as an FYI]
It seems pretty obvious to me that if Test no longer exists, the progression now runs User -> Unit -> System -> Quality -> Production, right?
So why did I get called in for an ass-chewing by the manager for doing it that way?
Fortunately, she's a fairly reasonable woman -- most days. She asked me to explain why I'd done it the way I had, and when I told her, she nodded and said that it didn't sound like I was trying to "get around" the established procedures, and that we would get back together soon, along with the Group Lead and Team Lead, and make sure everyone's on the same page.
I just *love* getting yelled at for doing what they've *told* me to do....
