Ring reviews

QA is being dissolved in slow motion. After the last reorg, most QA engineers were told to “transition to SDET” and start writing automation in Playwright and Python. Manual testing is basically gone. Managers keep talking about “raising the performance bar” and “owning quality end-to-end”—translation: do a dev’s job. The Pivot process looms over anyone who can’t make that jump fast enough. Communication is vague, morale low, and leadership still frames it as “career growth.” It’s not. It’s attrition via buzzword. They did the same with AWS. I have two children, and now what am I going to feed them?

Aggressive deadlines and frequent re-prioritization of work.
