I'm the last person to complain usually, but a new person joined our team about a month and they are INSUFFERABLE in Zoom meetings. Classic teacher's pet, summarizing everything our manager says right after she says it etc and I can't stand it but I don't want to address it wrong and end up looking like the bad guy. Thoughts?

For some, this is their way of making sure they understand correctly, playing devils advocate, would you be frustrated if they never sought clarity and constantly were making mistakes?

I also summarize because I want others to tell me if I’m incorrectly understanding something based off my summary. I don’t really see the problem here. Then again, I guess I get called teachers pet quite often

funny

Are they not completing their work? If they're just a teacher's pet, boohoo there's nothing for you to address. From that amount of info in your post, they might just be new and trying to learn about the company, industry, tech stack, team culture, etc.

i dealt with something similar and got real lucky that they left. calls with them gave me so much fatigue.

i brought it up with my manager because they were constantly cutting me off and not allowing me to speak. however, if they don’t affect you directly, i’m not sure you can say anything.

but i feel you.

You could provide the feedback to your manager but I would be careful to note what it is about that behavior that has a negative impact. Is it just annoying or is it a distraction to the team? Your manager might have a similar perspective and give the person that feedback or give you insight that might help you understand and manage the effect it has on you

What is the advice on what feedback to leave for a peer who really sucks at everything y'all have worked together on? It's about the time where everyone on my team requests feedback from each other and I'm nervous for it coming up. My manager knows that everything I've worked w her on I end up doing 90% of the work when it's meant to be split so it is a known issue. We're both at level 3 so are genuinely peers. She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh

Hi friends,

I'm a new joinee in MSFT.

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)

People behave unpleasant
