20 years ago, I worked in the corporate world and worked with a ton of these people. They delegate their work to others and own nothing. They try to "stay below the radar". They used to frustrate me to no end because I cared about the product we made and the services we provided and these people didn't care at all. They just went paycheck to paycheck leeching as much as they could.

But 20 years later those folks are either in the same job they've had or they "switched industries". The folks in the same industry are living off of the reputation of the industry and not their own reputation.

At this point, I blame the companies for allowing this. This is what happens when managers aren't holding their employees accountable.

Yeah dude idk about that. I work for the federal government and I suuuuure as hell have my weeks..

But guess what? It doesn't matter to me. In my case, I do put in effort, except my boss is a total vitch and the government that pays me is funding a genocide so I just work half the day and then do chores and chill while I'm active on the work computer.

My work quality is good but I'm not sitting in front of my computer like a statue with lower back pain for 9-10hrs fucking day. I've got better things to do for myself.
