That guy what is the problem: People aren't communicating their blockers.
Me: Yes. They. Are. From day one, my testers are telling me they are blocked.
That guy: Then they don't understand they need to wait for development.
Me: No. Dev has already happened. They are waiting on migration.
That guy: Yeah, I think that's a communication and misunderstanding of the process.
Me: You said it's that they aren't saying they are blocked. They are. So, what are you saying?
That guy: That they aren't communicating well and don't understand the process.
Me: Yeah, I don't know what that means. You'll need to explain it better.
That guy: If we want to talk for the next ten minutes about it, ok....
Me: You said they weren't mentioning their blocks. They are. From day one. So, if you want to be more specific, go ahead and email me offline.
I give you that guy. He later called new people like children. I intensely dislike that guy.

I mean, maybe someone's not communicating well and doesn't understand the process...
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's me
ReplyDeleteHave these conversations in front of other people, and then check in with them to see if you’re missing anything // bring them in as allies when pointing out Problem Guy’s problems?
ReplyDelete“If we want to talk for the next ten minutes about it, ok...” is a deliberate insult, in case you weren’t consciously framing it in that context already.
ReplyDeleteTony Lower-Basch I don't believe it is conscious.
ReplyDeleteHow do you figure? They’re insulting unconsciously?
ReplyDeleteTony Lower-Basch Yeah. I figure the emotional IQ on this one is pretty low. This is the guy that was flaberghasted at why, when first meeting people, I set up a time and honored it.
