• So I spend the first week reading up on the database, then find myself receiving troubleshooting emails. So I ask my co-worker (the only other DBA team on the team) what the procedures are for fixing these problems and he freaks out. Literally at the top of his lungs, screaming so the entire office can hear him, that this is his job and he doesn't need *my* help doing it. My new boss talked to me later on, apologizing for the co-worker's behavior.

    DBA's tend to be very territorial, fact of life. However that said, that still does not excuse anyone acting like that in the workplace. HR should have gotten involved. 🙂
