This dude is extremely persistent about having irrelevant things his way, and when he doesn’t get it, he acts as if it were a personal attack. Do you guys have any argument or method to deal with this kind of people?
I used to say “whatever” and let him have things his way, but as I got more experienced I started to listen more to his arguments and basically respond “this makes no sense” (not with those exact words, of course).
This is common enough to have a name in several industries. In SW Dev it’s called ‘bikeshedding’. If you have a name for it, it’s easier to call out to your seniors and peers - and you should call this out and help the meeting move on to more useful matters.
I’d suggest informally discussing this with people around you - enough people that you (or someone else) can safely say “let’s not get trapped in bikeshedding” in the meeting and getting immediate agreement.
