Working like that is what earned me a ticket out of the toll central office equipment engineering group. I always had my work done, so a few of my co-workers complained that I didn't have enough work. My boss responded by taking offices from them and making them my responsibility. I was handed the 'really awful' offices. Same result. My work was complete, my desk was clear. The complaints resumed and another round of dumping problem offices ensued. Same result again. The new complaint was that I had all the offices and many people didn't have enough to do. It wasn't 'fair'. Frankly, many of those people were professional slugs. They worked as slowly as possible to give the impression that the work was difficult and time consuming. Demonstrating otherwise wasn't very popular. I was thankful to find a far more interesting line of work inside the company.

Interesting story. I’ve noticed that the “professional slugs” are also the ones who tear more productive workers down through office politics, character assassination and outright sabotage. If they were forced to perform on such a level as the more productive employees, they wouldn’t have time to engage in these destructive practices, which in my opinion, are the only reason these scum manage to survive for so long. They seem to take pride in their behavior. The logic behind that completely escapes me....

BTW, most of the folks I’ve seen who operate like this are liberals. I don’t know if that’s just a coincidence or not.

The best people I ever worked with were conservative Christians and a Mormon. This goes back to how dumping God ruins everything.
