@Tom I upvoted you answer but here's some points to consider from my point of view. Regarding your first point, 100% agree. 2nd, if management thinks he's untouchable AND he's causing multiple deadlines misses, it may be a time for OP to look for a new job. Otherwise he's gonna get blamed for thing out of his scope. 3rd, not everyone is a local superstar who can ignore politics (and I'd argue even superstars may need to conform). 4th, this is the one I don't agree with most - you should work to the best of your ability even if project is uninteresting - that's what work relation is about.Yuropoor– Yuropoor2020-09-21 13:00:33 +00:00Commented Sep 21, 2020 at 13:00

@Yuropoor you are actually legally speaking wrong about 4th. At least in my country, by law as an employee you owe the employer a work of average quality. IANAL but I have legal training in the area of employee laws.Tom– Tom2020-09-21 17:29:51 +00:00Commented Sep 21, 2020 at 17:29

@Tom maybe, I'm speaking from the perspective of my country, where you are expected to perform your duties "to the best of your ability" (that's actually in the law). Locale varies :)Yuropoor– Yuropoor2020-09-21 18:53:19 +00:00Commented Sep 21, 2020 at 18:53

@Yuropoor interesting. Indeed, location is important here. The OP didn't give a location, so it's a guess.Tom– Tom2020-09-21 23:08:30 +00:00Commented Sep 21, 2020 at 23:08

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. software-industry), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
