To try an explain it would take a novel. My coworker “Jim” is a useless piece of shit. Because he’s friends with the HR person he’s immune to any discipline. He‘s done everything he can do to get out of work for the last 15 years. Last month he achieved antiwork status. He is now paid a full time salary to not come to work. Almost everyone else in the company works 40+ hours a week. Yet Jim is paid to not work because it’s easier for everyone else when he doesn't come in. The CEO of the company doesn’t want to deal with him, so the company collectively ignores the fact that we pay him to not work. In all honesty, I am happy that he doesn’t come to work anymore. I just hate the token visits he makes because we all pretend like it’s normal.
