There is a very specific archetype here. The coworker who wants authority instead of responsibility. He does not own the project. He does not do the hard work. He just patrols your output looking for mistakes then writes essays about them in group chats. When no one responds he escalates the format. More people. More text. Same emptiness.

He also has goldfish policies. One week a tool is the official way. The next week it is forbidden because it made him look bad. Then it quietly returns when he remembers it exists. You are working with six years of real experience. He is working with vibes and a selective memory. That is how you end up getting scolded for using the method he taught you and then assigned again to the same client he cannot handle because they were getting on his nerves.

The layoff boomerang makes it extra weird. He gets let go then brought back in and now acts like he is command central. Suddenly he is monitoring your work in an area he does not understand forwarding his confusion up the chain before you can even answer. It is not oversight. It is insecurity in a business casual shirt.

The quiet blessing here is that leadership clearly recognizes noise when they see it. They are not biting on his attempts to turn every task into a performance review. In practice he is just burning his own credibility while you keep doing actual work. It is irritating absolutely. But if anyone looks unprofessional in those threads it is the guy writing novels about things he does not even know how to evaluate.
