What’s your point? It’s an organizational failure for over-hiring and/or not having enough work, not the employees fault. Good for them for making the money with minimal effort.

So when the organization makes attempts to correct what amounts to a failure and cleans house the people getting a free ride should also get a handout on their way to the door?

Freeloaders have always existed, getting their position thanks to their connections and not their effort. It isn't something new and other work is being done that could be shared. A few people are working hard while a bunch of others pray on them for a paycheck. Haha, and my other post got flagged, ha, that's the pettiness in action.

If this is you, then I don't think you want to view it from the other perspective. Somebody is working really hard to get things done and a bunch of others jump in at the last minute to grab some credit, then go back to doing nothing. Or worse still, back to undermining the hardest workers out of promotions and recognition for not being "a team player"

They have everything to lose if they don't defend this attitude, but you have everything to gain if you start realizing your worth

Why do you care? And why do you focus on people who have it ok like they took it from poor people? There’s a whole layer of people who are used and abused by rich, but hey, fvck datacenter sob, how dare he not work up to your standards?
