OTOH, I've worked with people who I wished were as productive as this guy. At least he didn't go around actively screwing things up.

Yep, I think a lot of us have probably worked with a few NNPPs[1].

That is a fair point, I've known people who didn't really have any job responsibilities and yet insisted on 'helping.' Which resulted in lower productivity for everyone around them. One of the reasons Office Space was funny was that the stereotypes exist because these sort of people exist in real life.
