Surrounded by them
Persistent workplace fakers are the very essence of what makes work hell, esp. in tech / comms.

One particulary egregious shitbin I have had the pleasure of dealing with is, at this very moment, employed to do nothing but sit and tell everyone he's really busy - he's not actually, which I know for a fact, but as his direct manager is also a bone-idle shirker who would sooner eat a spoonful of cat-shit than let a single word of truth pass his lips, he goes largely undetected.

Truth be told, this paradigm extends all the way to the top of the organisation.

Hooray for contracting, if I worked here full time I'd be in a mind to stab them all in the face.

If
He's a contractor by choice then he's one of the Elite.

But if he's a contractor because he can't get a full-time position then he'll be worse than useless.

Two types of contractors, the Elite and the waste-of-space.

In almost every contract I've worked on I've been offered a full-time position. But I'd rather drag my testicles over broken glass than join the ranks of the permies.

Cheers
