Could Roles Impact Behaviour (CRIB)

You gotta love it, troubleshooting if that´s what you´re supposed to do, and automation if that´s what requested. Now, I’m not living in tinseltown, I’ve been working considerably more years doing things that I am supposed to do than years doing what gets me going. I’ve been though the IT crash years and worse and you need milk on the table for the kids, and sometimes you need to do career things to get even more milk for them. I know that as good as anyone.

But just think, if you do testing tasks you are supposed to do without love, will you really be valuable for the company, for yourself or anyone at all? There ARE ways to move away from bad assignments. It aint easy, it aint risk free, but its worth considering anyhow.
