Unfortunately that bad attitude is very common. That attitude is fostered by some supervisors. I once had the pleasure of a talk with a supervisor for picking on a colleague when testing software. Somehow the bugs were the testerīs fault and it was not OK to point them out. We finally agreed that the colleague would no longer select me as a tester. That measure improved the projectīs quality statistics.
I managed to get assigned to other projects.
I think not putting lives into the hands of people who do not like their work checked is wise. Their performance often leaves a lot to be desired.
When the company started deploying Microsoft Office 2010 I documented several major bugs and reported them back. A few days later I got a nasty e-mail back that where mine had been sent up through several management levels and I was told that there is not way it could have these problems when it had been tested by Microsoft and the company. I had the helpdesk roll me back to MS Office 2007 and used it for another year and then later found all my reported bugs and fixes listed in the first service pack for 2010.
