How to deal with workaholic senior engineer? He tries to eat my personal time by asking me to do things even post business hours
Idv if he works 24 hrs a day, but i dont want to code more than 8 hrs a day for which I’m paid. I have to go to gym, dates, or play with friends. He can work on the task if he thinks it is so urgent, i do t mind 1 or 2 days working late ocassionally but not often.
Is he your manager? If yes then try to reason with him about your preferences. If he doesn't understand check if you can switch to a better team. If everyone works like that then switch the company If he isnt your manager then just dont respond to him 😂
If he is a peer and you guys collaborate, do tell him how you would like to work. Most people are nice and understand.
Most of the business or program managers know that how most of the engineers operate, they just delay things and slack of work.
