I’m tired of being treated like the bad guy who deliberately ruins everyone’s Friday. I caught a catastrophic data-leak bug right before a major deployment., Instead of a thank you, the dev team gave me the cold shoulder because it pushed back their weekend release. I didn't break the code. How do you maintain a good relationship with engineering when your entire job description is telling them their baby is ugly?

Escalate to your manager and let them take point for arguing severity with dev and product if you need to. At that point you're just the messenger, and it's the process that forced the delay.

Personally though, it's never occurred to me to blame QA for finding my bugs for me. Sometimes I really did just pump out an ugly baby.

I had an initial interview on Wednesday. About an hour later, I got a call from an internal recruiter from the same company wanting to follow up and see how the interview went. I didn’t see the voicemail until the following morning when I was at work and called her back that afternoon when I was out of work. I still haven’t heard from her. Is this normal? Should I not try calling back again? I’ve been at my job for several years, so I am unfamiliar with how I should handle a situation like this.
