[Ok ok, another post on work. I promise there'll be no complaints in here]
[1. Helping too much]
I've been worried about this for some time till my colleague made a verbal (and physical) complaint to me. She said I spoilt the guys and she won't be able to cope when I go for my vacation.
Yup, it's my fault. Even if they don't ask me for a quick fix, I would have volunteered a solution. Impatient; busybody; show-off. Still, there is a new hope...
[2. Aptitude over experience?]
The Little sister of the B.P.O.E. broke loose with 3 errors logged and promised more to come. To cut the time wasted by red tapes, the Powers requested us to collectively solve them under a single programmer instead of 3. I couldn't take it up so they left it to us to decide.
Do we pick someone with strong debugging skills or do we pick someone who is experienced with the Little sister? We have a deadline and would suffer political fallout if we fail.
I recommended Ad Myron (not his real name) to our Little team leader and she accepted. He had earlier impressed me by locating a problem inside B.P.O.E. with minimal help from me. Double points were scored as he turned down my earlier offer to swap his task with mine.
Did I make the right choice? I would know when I return.
[3. Who the hell does he think he is?]
Potentially, anyone from my bosses to my co-workers could think of this. Some apologies may be needed on Monday...
