I agree with this 100%.
My last job was precisely described in your last paragraph. I loathed asking for help from a senior dev I was working with because every time I did, she made it very clear how much of a nuisance I was being. She even verbally chastised me over IM for correcting a typo in a variable in a stored procedure she wrote.
Working with her was an exercise in torture and I eventually quit because my manager believed her on everything. I was also so full of self-doubt that I questioned whether I should even be a developer anymore.
It screwed with my mind so much that I still have a lot of anxiety to this day.
- tempguy9999 7y agoThis does not relate to what I wrote. She was a dick. That does not reflect on you in any way. End of. Edit: and I'm really sorry you had to go through that.
- crispyambulance 7y agoYep, I've seen it too. Some people act that way because they experienced the same kind of abuse when they were starting out. They end up dishing out what they themselves received, perhaps believing that that's the way things are supposed to go. Others, do exactly the opposite and retroactively compensate for their mistreatment by being kind and supportive in a way they wished they had been treated.
