How do you cope with incompetent team members?
Brushfire: That depends entirely on your role in the team, which isnt clear.If you are the leader, its your job to get him working correctly or get him out. If you are not the leader -- ie you are his equal, its a little harder to go about, and it depends on his, the team, and the leaders personalities and operating style. There is no hard and fast rule.But you should do something instead of being pissed off, certainly.In my situations, I 'cope with incompetent team members' by firing them. But that is not always such an easy prospect if you are actually friends with this person, or you arent the boss. If you care more for the friendship than the job/project, then tell him what you think and help him yourself to get over it.
