How to make a toxic product manager look bad. He knows nothing about tech and always tries to play the smart guy in the room? I want to teach him a lesson. Also How to protect myself from people like this as a junior SWE/DataScientist!

You sound a bit toxic as well, wanting to make someone look bad/teach him a lesson. Just because he doesn’t know as much as you and tries to look smart. What would you have him do, try to look like an idiot? You don’t mention anything about him impacting your work or inhibiting growth. And even if he was there is nothing to gain by retaliating, just distance yourself through a transfer to different team/project.

Hi 👋. I posted here a few weeks ago about being nervous conducting a PIP conversation with my team member.
I did it this week and let me just say it was the weirdest conversation ever. The guy is usually argumentative and tries to disprove every bit of feedback. But this time he just sat there and asked no questions and said nothing.
Maybe he’s looking for new jobs already - don’t mind this at all and this would be a good outcome for him overall.

I am here to learn and advance my career but he can be pretty nasty. (My mistakes are no worse than you’d expect a 1st year associate to make, in case you’re all wondering if I’m a major screw-up who deserves it) I leave work feeling a foot tall.
