This dude is extremely persistent about having irrelevant things his way, and when he doesn’t get it, he acts as if it were a personal attack. Do you guys have any argument or method to deal with this kind of people?
I used to say “whatever” and let him have things his way, but as I got more experienced I started to listen more to his arguments and basically respond “this makes no sense” (not with those exact words, of course).
Depends on if you’re management or not.
Step 1 is to create a meeting agenda.
Step 2 is when he starts hijacking some shit, enforce the agenda. “It looks like our time on this is up. Moving on…”
Step 3: report time spent to management. If he continues to waste meeting time, discipline until you fire them.
