Peeked into my work email to notice my coworker sent an email to myself and the software team lead. Apparently he didn't agree with a bunch of the changes I made (which were all obvious improvements by the way, without tooting my own horn too much), so he reverted them and then complained that he had to spend so much time "merging" my code. He actually spend no time merging. What he spent time doing was reviewing and reverting, which is not his job. It's quite insulting to be second guessed because someone is being an immature baby. What's the appropriate course of action?

I don't suppose you have some kind of backup of your changes? Still got your sandbox?

Some booing is definitely in order, at a minimum.

Yes, we have source control, so the changes can be re-reverted. It's just the principle of the matter. The arrogance of it.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

I was thinking laxatives, but that will work too. Maybe I'll add both.

Knicks tickets, of course. If the Knicks play consecutive nights, get him the second (when the team inevitably loses by 63). He may actually kill himself to avoid extensive, irreversible damage to his brain.

Discuss the changes with him ... tell him why you made them, & find out why he doesn't like them. He may have a good reason which you didn't think of. Perhaps he feels like he "owns" that module, and doesn't want changes made without his knowledge. If talking with him doesn't resolve it,then also talk to the software lead.

and give him knicks tickets.

Quit your job and become a jazz musician.
If you are still following the team and reading sites like this, there is nothing, short of your own demise, that is going to throw you off this train.

Good idea, and then make it his default homepage and shut down the browser. Then call a bunch of people over to his desk when he gets to work and ask him to show you all something online.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Good point. I was actually going to do the opposite first and talk to the team lead (who is his best friend, btw), because he's shown this destructive "ownership" behavior on other occasions as well. Perception of ownership is interesting, but the roles have been made clear that we will have three people working in the same module. Any sense of ownership that he has is wrong and misplaced.

Hmm, just a hunch, but do you work in software as well?

HAHAHAHAHAHA. That's hilarious!

... and very tempting. If I didn't sit so close to him it might be a consideration.
