So I work in a team of 9. The team lead / Agile scrum master planner kanban card carrying maniac is also a contractor.
Bossman has been coming up with some very unlikely sounding stories lately. Highlights, with some details slightly changed, include:
- How he was set to marry his Asian fiancee but her dad had ties to organised crime so he bailed
- How he knows how to profile people and manipulate them into doing what he wants them do using this knowledge (which, he claims, is how he ended up with his wife)
- How he's training in a Asian gang-developed fighting style in a place he found somewhere in Wales
I've spoken discreetly to others on the team and they're all of the opinion that he's hard work. He's antagonised others in the past so has a reputation for the wrong reasons. He's like an overenthusiastic child who's fallen down the stairs maybe one time too many...
Anyone else got any experiences like this? How do you deal with them? I'm figuring on nodding, smiling and keeping my head down. That should do it. Unless he five-finger death punches me or something.
