- papaf 5y agoOne thing I would recommend when someone blames a bug on you -- without hesitation, always say "yes, I will take a look at it". This way if you have to push back and say it wasn't you, you have much more impact because you have investigated the problem. Edit: but I agree, that is no way to treat a colleague.
- exciteabletom 5y ago>I demonstrated outstanding leadership and blamed him without any further evidence. At least the Author seems to know it wasn't OK.
- sqldba 5y agoThanks! I felt the same way. Glad I’m not the only one. I’ve had people attack me like that before and it’s not great. It’s always someone in a position of power, too.
- shock-value 5y agoIt’s embarrassing and shameful behavior by the author, and even more embarrassing that he was willing to share it publicly. If it’s the culture of that startup that this kind of stuff is just typical day-to-day employee interaction, I don’t know who would want to work there, especially given how hot the job market is now.
