I remember in multiple teams I have been, there were clear divisions of which people grouped together. That creates a fragmented team in the end.
When I was just a new hire, I tried to make sure I became part of the group of the people with the most experience and that I thought were objectively better.
But as I gained my tenure I found the value it's instead in being an IC, individually assessing the situation and providing what I think is the best path to green, regardless if that's the side someone else also took or not
Absolutely, I think we all felt the same in the beginning, being part of the right network. Eventually as we get more experience we understand the value of self-improvement irrespective of being right or wrong.
Either ways, there's always something to improve on. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you Basma, I'm glad you could relate to the post.
I'm sorry that you had to experience bias in a conflict. It is one of the most common mistakes we do. A lot of the times it comes from a future bias and we stay in denial. You made the right choice.

Love the visuals Akash! I like your emphasise on trying not to chose sides.
I have been frustrated once when my boss chose sides. It was not the best experience, and led me to leave the team eventually.
Thank you for a very well written article!
