✦ AUGHTY ✦ Thoroughly 6 DEV CHANNEL FOR THE NEW SOFTWARE PROJECT. SLACK. # newproject-dev Aughty 10:42 AM Build is on test. Three of the four items are ready for review. Items 1–3 are code changes. Item 4 is a data matter — out of scope. Manager 11:34 AM Can you please test these more thoroughly? Go through each row of item 4. He recently moved from tester to manager. Item 4 is a data matter. Not on the review list. I said so. In writing. In the same announcement. Had he read it, he would have known. Then he told me, publicly, to be more thorough. His complaint was based on his outdated browser cache. A tester should know that. He was one. Until recently. He asked me to go through each row — of the item not for review. There are 1,952 rows. That would take six months. I said nothing in the public channel. Then something in a private message. Then in a performance review. Then I filed a formal complaint. At each stage: my communication style needed work.
The cache cleared the next morning. He did not mention this.
