Did your colleagues get jealous because you used the alternate schedule well or simply because you had an alternate schedule?

They got jealous because they're toxic dickheads. Who does that to people?

  Hard to say without knowing their complaints. Not sure how I’d manage to be productive when collaborating with some of my team members if they were not there during Norma working hours but were there during the middle of the night. Offsets all requests and fixes from them by a day.

    Sounds more like a problem with how stories/tasks are split.

      Being part of a team means being part of a team and communication and connecting with the team to be a coherent whole, not just logging in and staring at your ticket todo list and not speaking to anyone.

        If you're blocked because you can't get an answer from a teammate within the next few hours, you're doing it wrong.

        There were quite a lot of discussions about this. The one ticket that was the nail in my coffin was rewriting a a 2000 line function written by some guy who left years ago, full of if / else ladders in god damn Zend framework. Nobody could really explain what it was supposed to do. Calculate some commissions based on conditions x,y,z. The input was a CSV that nobody could give me an example of. Every time I talked to someone it was "Ok I have 2 min before my meeting what do you want". Because it was all remote work it was super easy to see who I contacted when in Slack and was info was communicated. Timestamps of all the commits. After a few days of trying and failing I just threw in the towel. It's not worth it.

Not sure if they were jealous. They were very young and most were very talented & driven. When you're 25 and living with your parents you can't grasp what it's like to have a wife and kids on top of the job. It was a combination of really bad timing due to the pandemic and me just being a bad fit in the team, and management was garbage. One of those kids was really talented and I learned a lot from him ripping me to pieces in the pull requests.
