The trunk

Something like 2 years ago, I changed my job and I was hired by an advertising company (will omit all names).

As I’ve always done, I try every day to learn something new and to share this fresh knowledge (could be a programming technique or a tool) with my colleagues and my tech chief. Goals are improving company base knowledge, improving software development and management quality and (why not?) improving my career. This lead some of them doing the same: they taught me many different things.

But not every colleague likes my behaviour.

Someone even plays me when I do that.

Of course I understand I’m speaking the wrong way: probably they think I do not really know what I’m talking about; probably they do not like the topics; probably they don’t have time; probably they don’t trust me as much as I think (or I should say “hope”?); and (let me say that, as I’m too proud of myself) probably they fear I could really change something.

Until now, I’ve spoken even if not asked to: I’ve just learnt something, I teach you what I’ve learnt.

But this friday, I was played for the last time, and the relationship between me and my tech chief is broken and un-recoverable.

I decided to speak only if ASKED, and I hope I won’t hurt somebody anymore.

Anyway, this is not the job I want, and I will leave them as soon as possible.

I hope I’ll find again a team who really likes to share its knowledge, as I share it every day and as I see others sharing it on mailing lists and usergroups.

Wire your mind to a p2p network.
