Teamwork Challenges

One of the newer guys on the team asked our project manager for some info. He needed to figure out how to get his scripts logging in to run unattended. The project manager asked our team lead to schedule a meeting to sort this out.

We had a meeting scheduled this morning. The new guy was not at work when it started, so we had to reschedule. When the meeting did get under way, we were not sure how to get this guy's script running. So we phoned an expert. Actually it was just some other guy on our team who has experience with it.

So we got through most of the questions. I thought we had a plan. The team lead said another new guy would help out the guy writing the script. Script writer got real salty with that setup. At first he said the newer guy could just take over the job. Then he complained loudly that he had done a lot of work, and just needed some info to get his scripts to run.

Later my team lead and I wondered what the heck went on? We usually work as a team and pair up on tasks all the time. Personally I like it when someone else can take a piece of the pie and lighten my load. There is definitely something wrong going down. Might be that the guy is insecure. I think he has some reason to be. Obviously he needs assistance a lot of the time. We will see how this plays out.
