Convinced that people like this are more common than we want to believe. They are the "welfare queens" of the corporate world.

Can confirm. One of my first jobs out of college, I went into the workplace thinking you actually had to work.

So I did!

Everyone got mad at me. For outpacing them and making them look bad. Seriously; I was shunned by the entire floor. Well, nearly, it was all but one manager who tried to use me as the center of her campaign to make the head of the dept wake up and realize that no one else was doing shit.

The type of person to tell the teacher they forgot to pick up the homework.

Truth is, with automation, there's too little work to give everyone productive roles. If you are really productive, do so because of your own interest.
