>Even more when you have an idea, share it, someone who’s not in the corner takes it and runs with it. That experience is even more isolating because the immediate reaction is to just not share any more ideas. This! But I learned the lesson as the person who took the idea and ran with it. The "coworker in the corner" got pissed off and snapped at me one day in front of a few people. I wasn't the only one to have the experience and got to have an awkward conversation with our manager about having to walk on eggshells around certain coworkers. The end result was I didn't care what he worked on. Code reviews? Approved, no questions. Your ideas? Awesome, but you're on your own for getting them into production, bye. Don't be like that. You will suffer. You will know you are suffering too, when you compare yourself to your "lesser" peers who are getting more traction with their ideas while you become resentful.
