Layabouts.
This sort of shit gets my blood boiling. Lazy layabouts at work.

Back when I worked for IBM, on our team we had two people that were notorious skivers. One of which, named Philip (for that is his name and I don't mind calling the lying cunt out on it) was very, very good at getting out of work. Due to being system administrators on customer accounts, we had to get access to the various customer boxes. Surprisingly, he had to fight on getting access to those boxes -- the same boxes I had access to, and he was hired before I was.

Yeah, right.

Plans were drawn up with management, or at least that's what I gathered, judging by conversations I overheard and notes I saw on his desk. But what did he do all day? Since I sat next to him, I could easily see what he did -- browsed the web, texted friends with Google Voice, and talked on his own phone. The rest of us were pulling 50-60 hour weeks at least to stay afloat due to a new account that was hammering us with work.

His ass was likely given a choice of get fired or quit, because he was gone one day and that was it.

Another skiver was Bill. He wasn't just a skiver, no. He had the hygiene skills of a corpse fire, wearing stained clothing that was never tucked right or too small for his frame. He was unkempt, and had the personality of a rabid doberman that had been kicked in the balls by Michael Vick. He was brash and abrasive with everyone he worked with, and would never step up to take work. He even had the audacity to sleep at his desk, and when he was on the night shift, he would sit at his desk and watch YouTube, Hulu and other similar sites.

I've worked with other skivers, but not ones as bad as those two.

Welcome to IT...

Those two sound like real go-getters in IT. They'll go far.

Fuck I wish I worked for someone else in ICT.
EDIT: It also works better if your boss has no idea about what's going on in those big monitors and keyboards & mice.

Ah, tabbed browsing.
Multi-tasking between here and "work".

Wonderful.

Bill sounds remarkably like a Lotus Notes developer I met
Stained tie, bad shirt. Stank.

I've since had to work with another IBM company who have taken every award for twattery including using some of the most boneheaded authentication processes I've ever seen.

so yeah, so far my impression of IBM is fairly low.

Any chance of a translation?
Surprisingly, he had to fight on getting access to those boxes doesn't seem to be written in english.
