Rage!!!

Coworker checks in not working major changes and goes home for the weekend yesteday. When I ask him politely in an email to just check in a feature branch he says he has no time for that and it doesn't matter since the program is shit anyway.

Meanwhile I'm working overtime to get the program ready for a demo next week and another developer has already starting using his changes so I can't just roll it back. Spent my whole morning fixing it, and now can finally start my work in the afternoon.

Arghhhhhhhhhh!

Worst part is... He's the solution architect so anything I bust my ass to get done he'll take credit for and anything that goes wrong he'll blame on me. Can't wait for this contract to end!

    DON'T DO OTHERS JOB
    It's their responsibility to deliver what's their, not your.

    Don't do his job, let shit fail, but mail around the issue to management before he can. That's the way to make sure that his shit will rain down on him.

    @Fast-Nop Obviously mail in copy/CC

    @h4xx3r especially the "doesn't matter because it's shit anyway" part. That will be fun with his boss.

    @Fast-Nop 😈 I like your way
    Other than that, it makes sense to point out such behaviour, a company in the end is more or less a group effort, if someone doesn't cooperate at least decently with others that someone is less of coworker that is still paid as such.

    Unfortunately I'm responsible for the program and have committed to get the demo out in time. I'm fine with that because contact ends soon and my main company is awesome. Just need him to stay out of my way long enough to grind out this demo... I've documented his attitude and spoken with everyone I need to, they're sympathetic and my ass is covered. As long as I deliver. ^^

    Nice solution @rutee07, it's really great that you stepped in and had your developers back like that. I hope they appreciated it!

    @Jallman112 thanks!
    Actually I've been lurking on and off for over a year but getting fucked over like that on a Friday finally pushed me to register just so I could pour out my rage ^^
