[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have the political capital to push back right now (you’re a top performer with high output and your manager has demonstrated willingness to let you work how you need to) you could go back Monday and say you thought about this over the weekend and it doesn’t seem realistic - you have your own workload and when you’ve tried to coach this person in the past, they aren’t receptive to feedback. You aren’t willing to own both your results and theirs (because that’s called being a manager.., and this person kind of has two already)

If you don’t feel like you have the political power to push back immediately, Try it for a month and document how this person is (not) responding as well as the amount of time it’s taking you and the impact to your own work. Then go back to your manager having given it a good faith effort and explain with data why this is not going to work.

I am fairly new to this company (2+ years) and due to remote work and also due to being introvert, do not have a lot of acquaintances or friends at work. Dev lead has been with this company more than 17 years. On the client side, its Dev lead role but on the company side, he is a Senior associate. I am worried to do or say anything that he may not approve. Dev Lead always says ("brags") that no one can go against him as he has been here before a lot of these people and knows a lot of important people in the company.
