Some people truly accel in the art of taking credit for other people's work... They claim a project... and proceed to "work" on it, by using other team members hard work, and good graces to assist them. They have an unbelievable ability to be absent for indisputable reasons, repeatedly, at just the right times, forcing you to cover their asses at meetings they were supposed to present to. They point the finger at you as being the last person to review whatever it was they were working on, so that they can avoid full credit, for any fvck-ups they may have created themselves... and simultaneously neglect to mention your name when you do 90% of the work on a project that they were SUPPOSED to do.

Now in some work environments, you could tell said person to go to hell, and watch them fall flat on their face. However we are a team... and thus when one of our team falls on their face, we all look bad. Thus myself and others in the team bust our asses, and save this asshat over and over again. Sure he'll eventually get canned... but the nice thing about my company is they are very hesitant to just can people, so we'll have to save his ass into the forseeable future.

I mean hey don't get me wrong.. I have my slack days... but I do MY work... and if I get help from teammates... I make damn sure they get credit, as well as my assistance whenever they need it. But this bastard... grrrr here I am doing his work AGAIN while he's on vacation... and will come back just in time to hand in work that I did...

Cliff notes: Son of a b!tch is a slack ass good for nothing punk, who takes credit for other people's work.

that reminds me of the episode of seinfeld where that guy would sneak up behind elaine and take credit for the work that she was doing. so she gave him tic tacs so that she could hear him walking. i loved that episode.

Any correlation?

I have my slack days yes... but I do actually get my work done...

P.S. the cancer comment is usually what I tell people who really get me... like tow truck drivers for example... I obviously don't wish cancer on anyone... well ok... maybe a little bit...
:evil:

EDIT: and yes it is a derivative from Tool...

Actually, my query was inquiring whether the current (and recurring) situation inspired that thread from yesterday.

I?ve given this advice before, and I think it holds true for this and many other office work scenarios. Take a dump in his trashcan.

Yeap pretty much...
The bastard is always on vacation... or at the dentist, or at a family emergency... and when he is here... he's pawning his work off on someone else... so yeah yesterday... I said fvck this shzt and took a working day off.

You're a govt. contractor I take it. By default you and all of your coworkers are slackbastards.

Zero sympathy for you. You fail at life because you cannot pull off what this coworker is accomplishing.

Wow, such hostility. I'm usually pretty good at figuring out why people react in the ways the do. For instance taking out their problems on some other anonymous person on an Internet forum. From these facts I can be pretty certain that someone must have taken a dump in your trashcan.
