Bah ... making fun of people is only appropriate when it's said to their face. Otherwise you are being a backstabbing coward.

its a constant.
ill break it down.
there are five of us
lets say im guy 3 in pecking order
Guy 1 mails it in, lazy..incompetent but not a hardass and not one to criticize..not a BAD person
Guy2 knows more than guy 1, saves Guy 1's bacon time and again(and really runs the show)..but at the same time loathes guy 1
Im Guy 3 and pretty much just show up and work..friends with Guy 2,but he is my superior and about 18yrs my senior.We dont always agree but we are friends
Guy 4...out of his mind, useless,but crazy enough to be dangerous...as vindictive as they come...a time bomb.Hates guy 1 ith a passion, doesnt trust guy 2, or even me i would imagine.Huge wave maker,bomb thrower, very sensitive, i really feel for his situation...but its beyond me.
Guy 5...same as Guy 3 cept hes the youngest by nine years...(me) not much of a boat rocker.

anyhow we are supposed to be a team....

Remember, people who are incompetent and envious have nothing better to do than drag the rest of the crabs down to the bottom of the bucket. Only way to fight it is to ignore and do a kickass job.

It's pretty bad where I work too... I'd like to think that it's more prevalent around women but that really isn't the case.

Sounds like Guy 4 is the odd man out. How long has he been around?
