I'll be blunt: you're acting like an idiot. You gain nothing, you help no one, you create a shit environment, you do not contribute to prevent the same issue from happening again, you institutionalize unhelpfulness and petty behavior, and to top things off you insult and belittle colleagues who had the audacity to look your way for help.
There is a reason why companies filter out candidates based on soft skills or lack thereof. It's because people who act like your example are a net loss to the company, and drive down the company's productivity by being hostile towards people who reach out to them for help. All companies are better off without antisocial idiots who unload their frustrations on other workers. Miserable people who try to compensate by making everyone around them even more miserable, and any company does well avoiding them and the cultural cancer they create and spread.
- cbozeman 3y agoAlright. You want to be blunt, I'll be blunt with you too. You are an idiot. No matter how smart you might actually be. Coddling creates weak people who cannot resolve matters on their own, and this matter was completely within her power to resolve. Were it that she did not get the email, or that she was given the wrong file path, I would be more than happy to assist her. Furthermore, she never once mentioned the actual file path, or thought to forward the email to me for review so I could actually help her. She took zero initiative other than to complain to me, then provided me a marginal amount of incomplete information. This is not the behavior of a so-called "professional". I'll be further blunt: The world would be better off without people like you creating more adult children that are totally incapable of resolving even the most germane issues without totally giving up and blowing up at the people around them. Furthermore, given that I am several steps above her in the chain of command, she should have gone to her direct report and not me in the first place. My job involves solving very real problems with very real stakes, not pointing out to a 22 year old adult that they need to thoroughly read their emails and not skim over them.
