Unfortunately I have to work with such a person. He is almost always refusing other team member’s architectural proposals (with arguments such as “who does this”). He sounds like a smartass every time he answers a question. In sprint reviews if he has to talk, he always say “I did this/I did that”, when the teamlead himself speaks only with “we did this/we did that” – which in my opinion, speaks volumes. Up until now I have put some distance between myself and him so that it doesn’t affect my work experience negatively.
My question is, in your experience, how have you dealt/are dealing with such people, what has worked and what hasn’t?
Thank you.
