> but instead of denouncing them to the manager, chose the path of being a good guy and do my best to help them. There’s your problem. My advice would be to be very open about this with your manager and let shit hit the fan next time your coworker push something that will break in production and/or create problems. The sad reality of many environments is that grunt work that keeps the light on is very often not even acknowledged, and it’s usually more cherished the person who fixes the issues instead of the person who prevents them or never causes them in the first place. I’ve seen this happen over and over again, sadly. Another extrema ratio: if you’re not satisfied with your manager’s response, go talk to your manager’s manager.
