@daniel-wu He's not clever but incredibly hard-working. He's doing cheap self promotion tricks like sharing obvious information. Sone juniors are always a bit like this "dude I found a band called Metallica they're great" and rest of the team is cringed 😄 he wants everyone to think he's a superstar developer but he's not.

But let's say what if he was incredibly talented. Still not ok to shame others. It didn't even pass for Linus Torvalds. Don't let anyone shame you even if you did a huge mistake!

@denialofservice public shaming is not allowed at least where I live

@hitko He is nitpicking on small non-issues about typos etc. But just saying it to everyone here: feedback must be communicated in a constructive manner. If you want to convey feedback with the means of mobbing and bullying, you will be breaking the law, no matter how "right" you are.

@MM83 oh, our guy knows that I complained to HR about him 😄 he didn't dare saying anything about me after that. but he keeps bullying the rest of the people - then I made a new complaint that he's targeting everyone else too

Wow those are really good advices! I have thought about signature list but I would get really upset if someone actually likes this asshat - that's why the advice about 3 of us is good!

I will be using this advice in case complaining to HR doesn't work. I complained to HR twice now with screenshots. If it doesn't work I will call the union (it's a Nordic country with strong unions and strict anti-bully laws)

Our team lead has no problem about other people being bullied, as long as it's not him :)) he even says "it's fine we are friends and we all can take a joke". I know this won't pass anywhere except our absurd firm. I want to look for another job but there's an economic uncertainty.

I decided to stay and fight like Kendall Roy 😎

Yes but guess what? Managers are on his side because he flatters the managers. Our managers are technical people so they fall far brown nosing tactics.
MBA managers honestly are better at identifying social dynamics. If we had one, we would have gotten tid of this asshat.

there's always time gaps between releases and projects, you're supposed to learn better and latest javascript / react etc. during those times

No but if you're client is douchebag, you need to deal with him only once. But if your team member is a douchebag, there's no way out except resigning

It happened twice that we had underperforming people in our team. In both cases these people tried to find other people's Jira errors to save their asses - which is a ridiculous attempt I know. They tried to wear out developers with BS like "oh you forgot your fix number in Jira"

Last two questions are so damn entitled attitude that qualifies to cancel out first two lol

You simply have to say no to each and every one of those otherwise more people will take advantage of you.

Actually we need to stop paying doctors too because in the end you always end up getting some set of pills from pharmacy. Why the trouble of going to doctor while you can go straight to pharmacy and get your pills? Geez
