New manager

So today we finally found out who the new manager was going to be. There had been quite a few rumours about, and I had heard from a reliable source that there was going to be more than one person replacing Sean. In the end the management had gone for a two tier structure and given a job for all three people that applied (from inside the team). There is one QA manager, but under her are two - I don't know what I should call them - sub-managers, other one responsible for functional testing and the other one for automation.

It all sounds a bit too much for such a small team, but then again we are hiring more people in the near future and are responsible for testing over ten products, so maybe it's better this way. And "small" is relative anyway - the previous QA team I was part of had two people in it, me included, so compared to that ten person team is huge.

There will of course be some changes once the new manager starts to make her vision into practice - and surely it will be painful too. I'm optimistic though that it will work out good.
