I know a lead developer who would complain to me about his team's problems. Basically "I don't care about your problem, just do your work - I don't care if you have an addiction, if you have family problems...". He also made a note to never work with software developers because "they are all crazy". Needless to say, the guy snapped over an issue is now no longer talking to me. On another issue, I had a line manager that I had to report to. He was very "non-technical", for example in my last discussion with him after I quit I had to do some handover documents. He thought that because an API is "very technical" (does not even attempt to understand what an API is) it should be relegated to staff member who he deemed would be "technical enough" to work with APIs (this staff member was a freakin Director!!). Whenever he requested something from me, or makes some sort of demand (which makes sense, as he was a line manager) I used to get -very- angry to the point that I would physically freeze up out of anger and this is the first workplace where it's happened. Eventually, I gave my notice to quit. Sometimes you can't choose your leads or managers, but you can choose how you react!! Don't leave it too late.
