I've known people who created negative work. Back when the economy was tanking in 2008 into 2009, we fired 3 developers at my job, the rest of us ended up getting more work done than we did when also having to deal with the work of those 3. One of the 3 you could argue about, but the other two 100% caused extra work from having to clean up after them regularly. At least one of which was somehow a senior developer and the other was either dev or senior so neither had the excuse of being new/junior devs, and had been around for a few years by that point so they had time to learn.
