Would you sabotage a co-worker for the sake of it?

This happened to me. Worst work experience ever.

Exactly,same here. Matter of fact I just heard from one of my friends I had at that job and heard that 2 of the idiots are now gone...

The only thing that I as an employee should care about is how I am benefiting the organization that I choose to work for.

It is the job of management to determine which employees should stay or go. If someone is not pulling their weight within an organization or providing a benefit to the organization then maybe management needs to look into that and take care of the problem. As an employee though that is not my problem but the problem of management. Let them figure it out. My job is to produce more than I did before. I like being a top employee. The fact is that slackers make those of us that produce look even better. LOL

You statements are not correct in all aspects. Let me explain. Let's say you are in a sales, like I am. I have suspected, but without absolute proof, that my former co-worker salesperson would steal sales leads and info about another salesperson's proposals and give them to competitors whom they used to work with and get the same back for them. You see, in sales you really aren't part of a team much, it's much more an individual sport. I don't need team rankings to go to Pres. Club or depend on them for sales bonus.

You are also incorrect about employees wasting resources. On our sales team of 8 we have one sales engineer. So if you are the idiot that keeps taking the SE out on appts. that aren't qualified you are stealing resources from the rest of us whom have qualified prospects.
