Great story, like a lot of people, I can relate. There is another type of worker that I run into a lot. The type that actually screws things up on purpose. I call this the "Red Sock Effect". When I was growing up, my Mom and Dad got into a big fight over who would do my Dad's Laundry. Mom relented and agreed to do his shirts. Now keep in mind, back in those days, dudes could not be seen in a pink shirt. Mom "accidentally" tossed a red sock into the wash with Dad's white shirts so they came out pink. From then on, there were no more arguments, Dad took his shirts to the cleaners. At work, I run into the "red sockers" all the time. They feign incompetence and as a consequence, management takes work from them and gives it to those that are competent.
