This reminds me of my first internship, I was running a test suite and filling out a web form every week. It was never mentioned in any meetings or other comms.

After about 3 months of doing this, I asked my manager why I was doing this if no-one cared or noticed. He told me to stop and see if anyone said something. I stopped, interned another 15 months and it wasn't ever mentioned.

Hell of a lesson to learn as a newbie

3 months later a showstopper occurs and heads are rolling. The poor release manager wants to pinpoint when this breaking change occurred, but the last test suite ran was almost 2 years ago. They didn't care until it was too late. As fitting for American culture.

Not saying you were wrong to drop, but multiple people dropped the BL there if there how they are treating their testing.
