So, in a team of 6 devs there is only 1 permie. He's a recently qualified (2 yrs) graduate and since joining I've been struggling to comprehend how he's got the chutzpah to throw his weight around like he does.
Well, just found out that in this clientco's view (a certain BS in Wiltshire) he is senior to us seasoned contractors just by dint of his being the only permie. And doesn't he like to let us know...
Worst thing is, he's completely useless and invariably wrong about everything but, unfortunately always points the finger of blame your way until you've taken enough time out to pin the fault back on him. And at this point, there's absolutely no contrition whatsoever.
Not quite sure I can suck this up for another 4 months without doing/saying something very unprofessional.
On a serious note though, seniority just through being a permie isn't something I've really come across in all the time I've being doing this. Is it common?
