Could it be that it's you who doesn't know which way is up? You said it yourself: you're new to the job and the company, so your judgment being off is more likely than everyone else being in the wrong.
See if you can tell the story from your colleague's perspective. Perhaps it might go something like this: "There's this one junior employee who seems to speak as if he knows everything, but in fact his fundamentals are lacking, so all I can do is set them straight as quickly as I can."
- happppy 7y agoYou are right but it was a simple one line angularjs timeout function which was used for countdown timer and he was stuck on it and wanted me to explain it to him. I explained and then he was like, ok.

To me, it worked couple of times to say that "I know", but it depends on exact personalities involved. Be careful to not underestimate him just because he is arrogant and annoying. Also, what does "act like manager" means? Is he assigning you tasks and checking time sheets? Bossing you around?

- silversconfused 7y agoI first learned how to make a timed loop for animation in javascript in IE4 when DHTML was new. I'm sure it's a lot different now and I'd need an explanation too. Be happy he wants to know how the new way works. We used to just count to 1000 every loop iteration to slow things down...
