@maven Either it's benign and he cried because he felt terrible, or (more likely) he is not a team player and is entirely aware of his behavior, and the crying was a method of deflecting judgement and saving face. Either way, I think you need to address it with him firmly. And if that does not work, speak to someone with authority as this prevents you from succeeding at your job.
Don't think that maybe he has an issue working with women? Don't know, I am not a knee-jerk-reactionary feminist. It is just a legitimate question. -
@MissDirection I think he thinks he's being aggressive and getting things done, but doesn't see how that's harming me or impeding on my growth. I just don't know. I feel like I know him well enough to be able to tell what his intentions are but maybe not.
Son of a bitch!
Got the other devs in my office their own debugging rubber duckies.
How do I handle working with my coworker?
He can be a bit half cocked with his pursuit of ideas. We're supposed to be working as a team on a project, and he'll often forget to cc me on emails. Or he'll go and talk to other people (make decisions) without discussing it with me.
Am I ovary acting? (heh) No, but seriously, I think it's benign behavior, butI feel uncomfortable by it. The last time I brought this up to him... He nearly cried. He was very hurt. What should I do? Be more aggressive?
I was a student leader throughoyt undergrad, but I feel like if we say something is a team project that we should be trying to work together. Feels like he doesn't know what that even means.
