About 5 years ago, I worked in software development project as developer. Unfortunately, and as common case, our project was delayed and needed to improve our development process, style and project organization.
We knew a senior engineer would become sub project manager as project leader's informal decision. Developers including me convinsed this informal decision was reasonable because he helped us always and we knew he has enough career and skill.
This informal decision had one point to be considered. This was one management staff. This staff was in higher rank than the senior engineer. If the senior engineer would become sub project leader, the staff should work according to the senior engineer's direction. This meant, the senior engineer would be in higher rank than the management staff in our project internally in opposite to company organization.
Developers including me also thought this was reasonable becasue he couldn't enough work without other's direction.
Actually, formal decision was different from informal decision. The management staff, not the senior engineer, was ordered as sub project leader. This order came from more upper person then project leader. The upper person thought that it was more important that he kept rank order than our project improvement. And he thouhght the management staff would improve his skill and work if he had chance.
I remember that the senior engineer criticized to the upper person. "No way! He just sits on the desk and do noghing!" But, the upper person didn't change the formal decision.
As result, the sub project learder, former management staff, left project. He didn't and coudn't carry out any work as sub project leader, I say, as expected. Senior engineer and all devlopers felt disappointed about his work as sub project leader. The sub project leader felt disappointed and did nothing less than as management staff.
I wonder the upper person wouldn't forecast this result. We should have focused project improvement at that time. But, his decision wasn't for project improvement. And his decision didn't archive his expected result.

I remember that some person who didn't have technical and business skill in our business.
Leader at that time recommended that he and I shared some of my work. But, I refused because he didn't have enough skill. I saw leader worked with him 2 hours during his 4 hours work. I thought if Leader or I would do that work, we just takes 2 hours by ourselves.
I said to Leader "he needs 2 hours to do 1 hour task. And he needs support half of time that he carries out the task. That has no sense to me because I have to use same time to support him. He used same amount of my work time. That's no meaning for me". "Understood" leader said.
The reason why I remember him is that I saw similar situation recently. One trained engineer worked together with one engineer which doesn't have enough skill for many time to support the engineer without enough skill.
I suppose that if the trained engineer did the work he needs less time. And the engineer without enough skill doesn't take note about work even though he should learn the work and do by himself.
If the engineer without skill could carry out the task by himself, the many time the trained engineer used is not wasted. But, I think that they both are satisified about work together itself.
I'm not sure whether my feeling is right. In my point of view, the trained engineer should teach more easier work to the engineer without enough skill. But, nobody knows the engineer without enough skill can learn work.

Mr.K is one of my colleague. I feel he doesn't like me. When I ask him something, he basically rejects my asking which he accepts when my other colleague asks same kind of asking.
Fortunately or unfortunately, he is some kind of cunning person. So, when he rejects my asking, he says certain twisted reason. But, he doesn't say such kind of reason to other person. So, the reason he says isn't actual reason he rejects my asking.
Some days before, I tried review my documents in team meeting. Mr.K also joined. Actually my document was poor. So, review was failed. Mr.K usually enjoys reviewer position because he can attack me and other weak person officially.
In the meeting, a colleague explained situation and information to try helping me. Unfortunately, information he explained was the information others doesn't know.
"Hey, you two don't talk only each other. You two ignore us." Mr.K said.
His word made me laugh inwardly.
Mr.K sometimes ignores me. He doesn't inform me about my work and just talk with other person.
He enjoy ignoring me but he said he dislike to be ignored.
Of course the colleague who tried helping me didin't intended to ignore Mr.K and others. It was enough that Mr. K just would say only "We don't know your explained information." But, he tried injuring me and the colleague in order to show that he attacks the person who tries to help me.
It seems to me that he thinks he is important person and I'm in lower ranking. He may think I should have respect him.
But, I feel he is Munchkin.

All most my data is stored in cloud. So, I easilyt to restore my data to my new phone.
I think that I'm happy that I can use cloud.
