Everyone you work with should be a grown up, and can handle it. The other side of that is owning up to your mistakes. Instead of &quot;There is memory leak in the code, we should prioritize it over other defects&quot;, say, &quot;I introduced a memory leak in the code. I am going to fix it as soon as possible.&quot;\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m going to keep this up until somebody openly calls me an asshole. You should try it too.  You don&#8217;t have to be a prick about it, just be assertive. Your co-workers will be impressed at your new found confidence.
