New kinds of workplace bullying
New kinds of workplace bullying:
-
Hog the upstream resources coworkers need, keep tight control, so they can’t fully own their code and their work slows or stops.
-
Mock downstream users for not understanding your system, or for “using it wrong.”
-
Refuse to talk with downstream coworkers who use your work, claiming the code is “self-explanatory” and they should just read it.
-
Write code with no comments; build a framework with no docs.
-
Use Cursor to crank out a pile of messy code and make others read it and clean it up.
-
Change code that others depend on at will, with no proactive sync and no docs.
-
Create fancy “clever” classes and lots of extra wrappers, then force others to use them. One wrapper should solve at least 3 real problems; otherwise, don’t add it.
