If you think Infosec guys are jerks, I&#x27;ve met a group of even bigger jerks in some organizations: developers!<p>This isn&#x27;t always the case, but in some software companies the developers capture the entire organization and run roughshod over everyone. I&#x27;ve seen developers tell support folks that because they are in support, they are utterly worthless and their opinions and views don&#x27;t count and never will, right after they ask for their opinion. I&#x27;ve seen them obstruct QA people. Not arsehole, stick it to you QA folk, but quiet, unassuming QA guys doing manual test scripts and find a failure and send the case back to development.<p>Yup, having one-eyed folk around can really cause a toxic environment. Of course, I have to be careful, 6 years ago <i>I</i> was often that toxic one-eyed person, and I learned this the hard way.<p>Don&#x27;t do that. Don&#x27;t be me. Be nice and be willing to concede that the other person has good intentions. You&#x27;ll be less angry, more likeable and probably more productive.
