Yeah we have the same coworker. He diminishes other people’s result and make it impossible to scale the team by taking over work than others could do and learn from. When he’s expressing his opinion that nobody seems to be able to do the work, it’s pretty much that he’s not willing to train the other engineers to do the work. What does the company do? They either listen to him, fire people, and waste indefinite time trying to hire someone who can match the 10x engineer’s skills, or they try to remove the 10x engineer as the bottleneck that prevents the team from growing (also, if they don’t act fast enough everybody has left except the 10x engineer)
