Sure, there will always be deadbeats at every level. I’ve also worked where workplace goof-offs get ahead because they’re on the company softball team, while hardworking people who don’t participate in activities that have absolutely nothing to do with the business itself stay in one place. Those ‘players’ are also allowed to stroll in late, leave early and take days off with no repercussions.
This weekend! Management Seminar. Topics discussed: “How to Treat Your Employees Like Freakin’ Three Year Olds.” followed by “10 Most Reliable Ways To Demand Respect Without Ever Earning It.”
My Dad worked for an ad agency with that guy. Well, okay, one just like him. Like Ed, he actually spent time with his feet up on his desk, or he would wander around pestering other people- who were trying to work. But he had a degree, so he had to be worth holding onto.
When I retired from one of the country’s largest banks at the time, at the Christmas party I receive a mug with the company logo on it that was filled with M&Ms. Didn’t bother going back a couple of weeks later for the cake they were going to serve.

The rich get raises and bonuses and every kind of gift they can give themselves. The rest of us are supposed to be glad we have jobs.
