Oct. 16th, 2015 08:05 amWhen you're doing half your co-worker's work because "it's been a long time since I programmed", and yet he wants to know what other projects are going with your company?
AHAHAHAHAHA. NO.
He manages to sound peremptory in every email, as well as most discussions. And the time he thought I'd missed out explaining a step in one of the processes we're undergoing, his expression was a kind of gleeful "I can't believe you missed this! This is Process 101!"
My instinct is to say that I'm under stress, busy, there's a lot going on, and I'm "just" being judgemental.
My feminist is to say FUCK THAT, BUDDY. If I asked someone to do my programming work - including debugging to find out why nothing is working - then I'd be out on my ear in an instant. A woman who can't do the job she's been hired for? Yeah, NOPE.
So I've explained the situation to my company supervisor. Also a woman in IT who understands where I'm coming from. Since I'm the only permanent from my company at this client - we've contracted him for the work at this client - my word has weight.
I'm sure he's good at the module that we're working on - when it doesn't involve programming - but I'm cross that he's offloading the programming work off onto me.
