One year ago during an online meeting, a coworker from another team compromised with our client on a set date for a solution. The deadline is reached a week later, and no updates are available on the progress.

I engage my colleague with an initial friendly tone via Teams, full of my characteristic smiley emojis. My messages are seen, however ignored.

Several hours later, I notice that my colleague is joining a non-priority, non-mandatory meeting. I send a new message, stating that I am aware of his presence on the meeting. I beg for any feedback, as by now my inbox has 2 frustrated emails from our client. My words are conveying desperation, as I only intend to obtain any significant status update.

My colleague replies that his agenda is none of my business, then proceeds to report my "invasive" approach to my manager.

Our client got understandably upset, as we missed the deadline. We later lost the contract that month.

I still do not go along with this coworker, as earlier this month we have had another disagreement, which, I am afraid, has only worsened the relationship, maybe up to an unsalvageable state.

This article does not seem to have suitable advice for my scenario, as I have no interest in working with unresponsive and irresponsible individuals. I do wish the article could provide more insights on how to deal with lack of ownership as well.

WSL allows me to use Linux from Windows in the most acessible way since VMs.

What drives you to claim that it is simply an extortion attempt?

It is curious, I was called yesterday into my managers office to dicuss my blunt approach with a colleague who failed to comply with our processes.

I think my question will be lost due to the high amount of input, but how can I survive if I am the "competent asshole" type?

Read the post again, they have given credit where it's due.

Microsoft: Does not give credit where it's due

HN: They should credit Casey

Microsoft: Credits Casey and several authors

HN: The credits list is clearly fluff.

Never change, Internet.

> - You and lhecker insulted Casey Muratori

And Casey didn't? Please take into consideration that Casey's definition of the solution as "simple" can sound quite insulting as well.

If someone stated that something is "simple" with an overtone of "are you blind", instead of showing more humility, I would feel insulted too.

We are experiencing a strike. Impresa and Vodafone occurred this month, and today Germano de Sousa Laboratories experienced an attempt as well.
