You call me out for not doing work I’ll call you out for not doing work. Mutually assured destruction.

I keep a file on my computer with many co-workers names and lists of things they’ve done to fuck up or times they didn’t do any work just in case.

I honestly don’t think it’s your mistake to act that way, I think it’s the leadership in there who are not working enough to build enough trust in that work environment so that so you need a CYA folder.

Do you also keep a list of times coworkers went above and beyond or did exceptionally good work?

No because it would be a very short list.

It's MAD if they know you have that list.

If you publicize that list, you are likely to destroy yourself.

Nukes are an effective deterrent only if people think you have them (and think you might use them).

This seems really unhealthy.

So with the guy not meeting the sprint requirements wouldn’t that have been discussed in the retrospective?

Let's see the list! I'm interested!

Got a guy with a few examples of times where he spent a whole sprint writing just one or two lines of code for some simple task. And in some cases the code didn’t even pass code review because it didn’t even meet the requirements properly.

Worth noting this is some straight up psycho behavior.

Probably wouldn’t even work. Imagine getting called up about low performance and instead of responding to it you pull up a list of what everyone else is doing.

If I was their manager, that would be a really bad look for the person.

That sounds very toxic. Are you working on your "file" on company time, or are you spending your personal time compiling a case against your own coworkers?

If you're delivering value then you don't need the file, and if you're not, then you should be fired.

This sounds like a LARP.
