Looking like the coworker who got on a PIP last year (and survived it) is going down that road again. I've been mentoring him since he started but he's getting this weird ego for lack of a better word. He wants a role like mine as I have been essentially cross training him into more of a developer role (he's never been a dev in his career). Now he can get by but its overwhelmingly obvious he does not understand certain key principles like designing code that can be reused. Nor is he able to come up with clear solutions to things.
It's been annoying me in conversations where I bring up some issue and he literally just starts saying random shit. Like he's pretending to have an answer but he is making shit up and has no idea what he is talking about. But it sort of sounds technical like he heard about it somewhere. I get on his case about it whenever he does it, which is often, and then he just goes "well I didn't know that." Or some other bullshit.
It's been annoying me but I don't really voice these things to people and just continue on. My Director came back to me and was like "what is up with this dude?" So it isn't just me. I gave him a somewhat important task that had to be done this month and he has poorly half-assed it. When presenting it to the stakeholders the lead stakeholder immediately complained to me after that it doesn't meet half the requirements and everything about it is shit. Which is true.
That task is falling upon me now, so whatever I guess. I don't think he'll survive it this time.
