Since I started working for my current employer, the senior engineer would constantly remind me that we work as a team and we watch each other's back. If we see someone is backed up, we help pick up some requests to take the load off their backs. We help each other when someone doesn't understand. So when the senior engineer discovered a mistake the new girl did, he said he'll cover it up from our manager and help fix the problem. He called the operating system's manager and confessed to him what the problem was and told him it was our fault. While he was releasing the new operating system to cover up the mistake, our manager needed his help so he asked me to finish the release. It was no problem for me since operating systems are easy now. I was able to release the OS to our testers by 4pm and that's when it went downhill from there.
I sent the OS without saying why a file was changed. I didn't think we needed to send out an email to everyone that states it was our fault a file was changed if it wasn't discovered by our testers in the first place. Our senior engineer made a big deal out of it and said that since I had more experience then the new people, I should step it up by realizing I needed to make a note of the change. And then he goes on saying that he went out of his way to prevent our manager from finding out this mistake and I should have appreciated his nobility. Then next time he will not help us out and we will be on our own. Talk about being selfish. The only thing he did was not rat out the new girl for her mistake. I could have done that! He barely spent any time on the OS. I was the one who spent 6 hours releasing the f-in' OS. He's always been a jackass, but I thought with new people in our department, he would mellow out. Guess not.
