Yes, there are QA out there who should not have that job.

Yes, there are MTs out there who should not get near a computer. 

But to say EVERYONE in those positions is lazy, anal, nasty, stupid (and any other horrible word you can think of ) is WRONG. 

I take pride in my QA work.  I feel I am here to help and to guide the MT--not to berate her or dispute every comma in the report.  If I PERSONALLY, cannot document something I feel is questionable, I leave a blank and a letter for both the MT and the client.  I PERSONALLY do not indiscriminately mark my personal preferences all over the report (i.e., disk/disc).  I PERSONALLY go with the client profile/standards and/or what is generally acceptable by the employer.  I PERSONALLY do not leave scathing or condescending messages for the MTs. 

I have worked hard at my QA position after being an MT for over 25 years.  I document everying, research everything, and will not put the MT through any unnecessary grief--I realize it is hard enough to type the garbage they are getting.  I am here to guide, not to torture.

There are horrible MTs out there, too--but do I put you all in one basket? 

Thanks a lot.  I appreciate you sharing your feelings, as I know you have dealt with every single QA on the planet earth and you personally know they are all horrible. 

I will continue to do as I always have--take my job seriously, be professional, look at each MT individually and not make broad-based unkind comments such as yours.

Have a great day.
