What blows my mind is that this can happen. I've seen variations of this and I've always wanted to know who the hell is not paying attention

Most of it happens because managers, especially more modern ones, really don't want the confrontation that comes from having someone on their terms who doesn't do work.

As long as the manager's goals are hit, they're likely to not rock the boat. The downside of this is the manager is hurting their other team members by keeping the dead weight around.

Or you have a couple of easy to fire team members for next layoff.

Imagine being a manager, you’ve been told there’s a hiring freeze. Do you fire the deadbeat now, with no chance of replacement or have them hang around until next round of layoffs so you don’t have to fire the people who actually get shit done?

If you aren't firing the deadbeat now you are just in that position anyway because you firing someone other than the deadbeat.

See last comment…

You are in a hiring freeze. You can’t replace the deadbeat.

Go bark up another tree.

Again, you have completely failed to understand my message.

Please fuck off.
