A coworker asked me for help so they could finish their task on time. That meant that I had to be a bit late for one of mine. They blamed me for delaying the whole team because I didn't finish mine on time. 😕

Well, to be fair I'd say it's your responsibility to be able to say that you need to prioritize your own work. If you think their work is more important to get done it might be a good idea to make sure it's agreed upon not only by you but by the rest of your team or you boss as well.

Something is probably deeply wrong in the system if other tasks depend on one task so heavily. And teamwork should be encouraged. Just reply that you helped someone and it wasn't clear which item should be blocked: yours or theirs.

Possibly one of the only advantages of a daily stand up!

"I have been helping dipshit with their tasks, so I haven't been able to work on my ticket(s)"

Make sure if you ‘help’ someone, you do the commits…
