The author seems to be blaming these employees too much, rather than the work environment. Perhaps they don't have enough incentives to be productive.

- nordsieck 13y agoIn my experience, productive people don't need an incentive to be productive - they like work. They just need people to get out of their way.
- a3voices 13y agoWell that's certainly true, but for the other side of the bell curve I think the environment makes a difference.
- trustfundbaby 13y agoI have to agree with you on this. The places I've seen people like this thrive are big-company-cya-all-the-time kinds of setups.
- yen223 13y agoWork environment, or work 'culture', are a net result of the behaviors of the employees.
- davidgerard 13y agoWell, no. They're a net result of the behaviours of the management. If your company is a fucked-up hellhole, there are people whose responsibility this actually is.
- yen223 13y agoTo be clear, when I say 'employees', I actually meant every person who works there - including both management and subordinates. It's tempting to assume that only the management is responsible for dictating what the working environment should be like, but ultimately, it's the people who you work with that determines whether the company is a fucked-up hellhole, or a productive nirvana.
