Yes keep your mouth shut. I have the opposite problem of doing too much but people who get bothered about other people's laziness are my pet peeve. Unless you are a manager, managing people is not your responsibility. If you do well and offer your support to get them to where they need to be, you are doing your best, take the nice paycheck home and enjoy!
I have no idea what people are going through or what they bring to the team or what political crap is at play. If you are not managing people then you are getting paid for your labor, that's it. It is a manager's responsibility to evaluate what value their employees bring. Heck, maybe the lazy guy is there for morale! Lol. And if the manager doesn't care the he has his own manager. Maybe having X number of people in his team is good for politics and budget and so long as the guy isn't a liabilit he is left alone.
Do you want to be responsible for the guy offin'g himself after he quits, gets divorced, maybe wife is dealing with cancer? People are very messy, let people managers manage people and us techies focus our passions.

- _8j50 5y agoYeah, or when they are causing harm to you or your work (endanger your career/living).
- piva00 5y ago> Basically don't police your coworkers for the sake of your company. Exactly, don't start a culture of surveillance by peers, that's what the KGB or the Stasi did to sow distrust and fear in societies...
- joeman1000 5y agoHow would he be responsible for the guy offing himself? This sounds a bit like manipulation. If OP is getting pissed of about it to the point where he wants to leave, he should definitely say something to his manager. You shouldn’t just bottle this shit up and let it keep angering you every day. As long as OP tells the truth there isn’t any problem. The only difficulty is in /not/ coming off as a jealous co-worker who is just out to hurt people. The guy has been fucking himself and his team over by not working and it needs to stop.
