I work at this desi startup, and this other day my CTO invites me to a call in late hours while he was testing a new feature he found some issues in part of the code that an ex employee wrote. I told him I don’t have idea about this specific thing as the ex employee built that out(he was fairly old there and I’m quite new in the company) so I don’t know why he built it that way and if certified functionality exists. Than he started rambling that I’m Sr. Engg here so I should think about things end to end(the ex emp was also Sr.) and said that it was “concerning” that rather than knowing something I answered with I don’t know as he built that part. Some more context - I was given this feature in haphazard manner in small parts and later I become the one who worked majorly on it but the initial setup and some flow of the code was written by the ex emp.
Btw from my colleagues I got to know that he gives bad reviews to mostly everyone and expects everyone to work extra hard though this is the 2nd time he’s given me a concerning review.
What would you do if you were in my case? Should I retaliate by confronting him or let it be because he has a habit of doing this.
Some managers are bound to put blame on people even if it's not our fault. But everyone expects to own end to end if you are senior. That's how it works. Even if you didn't code it but you have to take responsibility and fix it.
