Just at the last job, I was hired at the same time as another 'senior' guy. It took me all of 2 hours in the job to realize he was completely incompetent.
I requested a meeting with the director, and explained to him that despite being very new in the job, I suspected the guy was indeed completely incompetent, didn't have any experience of what we were working on and that me being an expert, it was pretty easy for me to realize he didn't know anything about what he was talking about. I emailed him proof that he had at least lied about the work he had done on a task... But the guy still managed to survive the first 3 months, so was 'hired'...
I told the director that I couldn't work with him at all, as I thought he was just a hindrance -- I emailed several times detailed reports to show he was completely incompetent at programming, and was just lying about stuff he did do....
The guy still stayed 18 months in the company, and he eventually left by himself.
After he left, I inherited his 'work' and proved in about 20 minutes that he had completely faked a demo he had done of a feature he was supposed to work on... The code wasn't there at all, they had been conned.
Thing is, said guy probably picked up some extra lingua to put into his CV for the next 'job' he'll go into...
