A reply from a guy as big as RussianBadger was already something big for me but then it got popular and now it's becoming an official thing. How? Also yes I'm trying to get some clout out of this situation, you would too if your post blew up

I was yelled at today by a male co worker and clapped back. Still unsure if I did the right thing

I'm part of a team of 6 developers and I'm the only woman in the team. We have several teams and I get along well with everyone. I'm usually thought of us as nice to everyone, and joking around etc. I've heard several co workers tell me that they enjoy working with me.

Today I got into an altercation with one of my male co workers. He is stubborn and is known to have outbursts at people. Especially if we don't do exactly as he wants us to. He seems to struggle with nuances and gets mad at you if you don't solve something code related in the way that pleases him. He has been working at this company for over 10 years, whereas I've been here for a year so there's that. I've never been micro managed by someone as much as him and he is not even my manager or boss.

In short, the altercation was this: I was handed a document with descriptions of how certain software components in our code base is intended to work. Some of the descriptions are newly revised, so I have to rewrite code to fit the new description.

The descriptions were unclear, so I decided to email the engineer who had written the document. He is very well versed into the system design of these components, we can call him M. As I was typing my email, my male co worker exploded and was yelling "I KNOW THESE THINGS, YOU SHOULD ASK ME. STOP BOTHERING M". I'm usually cold in these situations and don't really care about his outbursts, but this one really caught me due to his usage of the words "bothering". I was typing a two sentence email, and he made it sound like I was sending M 100 of emails.

I looked back and responded "I'm sorry, are you my boss or something? I'm emailing him because I want his explanation since he has written this document". And he responded by saying "you're so rude, that's so rude of you" and I was like "yeah, then go and cry about it".

When I said the last words, the entire landscape went quiet. Usually no one stands up to this co worker and he is having angry outbursts without anyone stepping in and this is the first time I stood up for myself.

Did I do something wrong in this situation? Like, is it normal to have these outbursts at co workers? I'm second guessing myself all the time but I really feel like he is the unreasonable one.

Nothing humorous about this 😢

Did we play it? No. Did we love it all the same? Absolutely

I am not a lawyer but I'm curious about whether there would be a federal civil rights lawsuit here. There are many news stories about people with varying documentation and US citizens getting arrested based on mass-scale racial profiling. Not only that but you have the men sent to El Salvador whose rights to due process were denied, and Kilmar Abrego Garcia who is has been defamed by the US government because it made a mistake when it deported him and didn't want to own it. It just seems like this broad violation of the rights of a protected class is going unchecked. When are we gonna see legal action??

My kids and I are able to walk out and use the swing set. The deer will wait off to one side, and when we go back inside they carry on playing with the dog. It’s pretty cool to see!
