I can relate to this. A much more senior and older engineer in the department I used to work in was lead over much of my projects. He would call me on Teams over and over until I picked up or harass me via chat messages. 75% of the time it was an “IT issue” he had and it was like changing the channel for my grandparents lol. Dude is wicked smart/experienced at electrical engineering, but computer illiterate and abusive to younger engineers like me that are tech literate. While he stressed me out a lot, I felt obligated to helped him d since I sorta reported to him. I recently moved departments to work on stuff I’m much more passionate about. He did it again at 4:52pm on a Friday night and was like nah bro lol.
