Is it okay to not like some team members in a team?
I have worked in 2-3 companies so far. Although, as of now, I have had less stress, but, in any team, there is at least 1 team member, whom I dont like. In my first one - the team lead. He used to make unnecessary demands, last minute changes, and so on. He was assigned a new project, after I informed my manager In my second one- there was a team member who was new, but would never put in efforts to fix errors in skills that she said were her experience. I would always find time to help her, when she had questions related to our existing project. But, I used to get frustrated when she would ask questions that could be solved by a simple Google search. In my current one- it is slightly larger team. Around 14 members. There are 3 people here that I don't like :- One is team lead. He is helpful and all, but political and slightly manipulative. One is an returning team member. He apparently left his current company to join a new one, but joined the same client and the same team again. He is sometimes rude. He also once misjudged me for a feedback, given by client (but, thankfully, the manager handled the feedback beautifully) Another is another team member. He is the junior-most person. But, he has worked in this project, longer than me, and he is quite intimidating. Like, if I ever ask him some doubts on some existing projects, he would be like, "Why is it not working ?"- in my head, I am like, bro, you are older in this project, you should know. Or at least give me some time to analyse !! In my current project, people are helpful. And the people I don't like, are talented as well. I take their help when I need, and help them when they need. But, their behavior seems somewhat down. Apart from these 3, the rest of the people are like heaven sent. I mean, I do not consider the rest are friends, but I like them, and I don't have problem with them. So, my question is, is there a problem with me, or is this normal ?
