If it's always everyone else then it might be OP, but it'd be unfair to assume that. It's possible they've worked in a few teams of 10-15 people of which a couple were disruptive enough in some way that it was easier to move than to try to confront them or otherwise resolve it somehow
- jart 4y agoThe OP is asking for life advice anonymously. There's no safer environment for them to hear the sorts of things people think but wouldn't otherwise say.
- smcl 4y agoI think my comment allowed for that hard truth to be confronted while also offering an alternative explanation (that it is possible to be unlucky a few jobs in a row with some colleagues who just make life difficult)
- ThePadawan 4y agoI have heard your comment before, in this joke: If you walk into a room and it smells like dog shit, a dog probably shit in that room. If you walk into a second room and it still smells like dog shit, there might have been a dog that shit into both those rooms. If you walk into a third room and it still smells like dog shit, check the bottom of your shoe. In that (shitty) metaphor, it might just be that your office building (~i.e. the software industry) is next to a sewage plant (i.e. its problems), regardless of the state of your shoes.
- smcl 4y agoHa nice, until the last line I was thinking "nooo, you missed part of my original comment!" :D
- treis 4y agoI'd argue that's still them if they can't resolve conflicts. I can think of only a couple people in my career that have been irredeemably difficult to work with. If OP keeps finding them they're either very unlucky or part of the problem.
