I have a colleague who is terribly inefficient at work. She breaks the code all the time and her code throws runtime errors all the time.
While I do my due diligence during code reviews, it’s hard for me to justify it all the time. Most of the time, I end up fixing her issues. I do communicate the scope of improvement every time I review her code and add a dozens of basic review comments. While she does fix the issues, she doesn’t follow basic rules. I expect better from her being 11-12 years experienced software engineer.
Having said that, she speaks to me nicely and she is always friendly with the team. I have given her feedback multiple times in a friendly manner and she does seem to take it positive. But I don’t see that getting reflected in her work. She keeps repeating the same mistakes.
She simply doesn’t think the big picture while coding. Applies point fix and makes it work temporarily, screwing the other features of application.
My manager is overly chilled guy. He hardly cares about my code or her code. He doesn’t understand any code and talking to him in a technical language is a waste of time. Even if we encounter a production issue, my manager doesn’t show any signs of concerns.
How do I deal with this situation?
Don’t fix her code and let her take care of it herself.
The problem is we work on common codebase. So many times I get blocked because of her mess. I do ask her to fix her code but as I said, she isn’t effective with her fixes. She is totally incompetent.
I have brought this up in the team meetings but it’s hard to pronounce this problem using politely correct sentences. She is considered one of the nicest team members with her attitude.
Just that she doesn’t realize she is incompetent. Someone should show her the mirror. How?
Just update saying currently blocked, waiting on the other person fix, will work in some other part in meantime, repeat the update the next day.
As the title suggests, does it make sense to talk about a colleagues’s inability to deliver to my manager. The colleague’s incompetence to take ownership is very evident now to everyone and the manager is not taking any steps on it. Othe...
Do not get involved. Try to minimise your own additional work due to that colleague. In one-to-one meeting with manag...
How do I deal with a teammate who treats every feedback as criticism and the goes on to defend his actions to the point that it’s impossible to have a civil discussion. Any pointers will help as I have tried almost everything I can thin...

I was currently in a project with no proper planning and the majority of the code written by team mates are full of bugs. The code is being written for a new application not yet deployed or in the testing stage so no way of knowing the b...
For the past two years, I have been working as a software engineer at a service-based company. In this type of organization, employees are often assigned to different projects over time.
Currently, my manager, who also serves as the t...
