Why Your Boss LOVES Your LAZY Coworker (and NOT You)

[@JenniferBrick]

This saying is so illustrative! I think we need to keep front of mind that how we benefit the company defines our path forward. The hard workers need to stay hard working. When we have strategic high impact, they need to elevate us. There's no right or wrong path, but if you're frustrated on one you need to look at where actions are tracking.

I was in this situation watching the office kiss@ss hanging out in my manager's office literally everyday, for hours sometimes, the guy really really wanted to be a manager. I thought about it and came up with "get results , not opinions", i.e. if you are an employee they cannot live without you don't need to play office games, you can easily move to the next role.

Fire the manager

[@billybeemus3929]

Re: The first one. I once worked at a place where the top guy got into cycling during the Tour de France / Lance Armstrong craze. Almost overnight, all of the middle managers showed up with huge-dollar road bikes strapped to the top of their cars and could be seen wearing their spandex clown outfits. When the top guy moved on (got fired, actually), all of the bikes and spandex disappeared and the underlings went back to their true interests.

[@JenniferBrick]

OMG just laughed so hard out loud at this. It's so fake, and this is what i feel like alienates so many people from wanting to be come leaders - because they think they'll need to do stupid shit like wear spandex if the big boss does. Work is a social construct, and this type of construct is a joke. BUT we can rebuild it (and lots of companies aren't like this I promise!)

How do you not outshine someone who does nothing?I've been in this situation 3 or 4 times. If I didn't do my job then my job was over & if I out worked the slackers they worked to get me fired.

[@JDP8888]

Been there myself too…I learned to just do the minimum and only shine when asked/told by management. Instead of out working the slackers. After I did my daily requirement then I would go help the slackers. I wouldn’t do the entire job for them but just give them a “bathroom break”. In return they were the eyes to the back of my head and also my ears.

[@L2PlayRunescape]

Exactly... i've even made detailed records of a slacker avoiding work for weeks at a time. Literally doing nothing and getting paid more than me. I don't think the boss even gave them a single disciplinary. They don't even care. It's like they knew them before they started working there so they want to protect them. My boss even said "i love you but please don't tell HR." Work life just isn't fair.

I think they liked him cus he was similar, relatable to them and he had a generally decent attitude even though he was not that great. But I will say this is why having more people that are minorities in leadership positions matters.

If the elevator feels awkward, you might be insecure. Time to check yourself. You should focus on yourself, not on your boss. Your boss is transitory, you are not. 48 Laws of power is a nice book. If you want to expose your boss, make sure it can't be tracked to you. You should also not give them constructive feedback because of their egos. From the get go, they consider themselves superior to you. Do not solve problems for your boss. He is irrelevant to you. Solve problems to gain more insights and abilities and become competent. then, if your boss is an asshole, you will have more and better opportunities to change your job, inside or outside of the company.

This is such an eye opener. I wish I had seen this video before I started this job. I have the definition of a toxic boss. She lied about me getting an increase said I wasn't when I actually was blames me and my co-workers for stuff we didn't do, she criticizes us for every little thing. Especially the things we didn't know as non of us were properly trained. And she had only been in that specific department for 2 months before I was. I guess I have the expectation that she'd be more understanding towards since all of us pretty much don't know what we're doing and we're just doing our best. We're supposed to be a team but. Eh. Anyways, ever since she's been like that with us and with me, I decided to get the right information from another shift who knows what they're doing to avoid constantly getting shamed from this woman. Well she doesn't like that and it's been a tense workplace since I started comparing what I've been told. After watching this, I notice that on my end that I have been unconsciously and unintentionally doing all of this unlikable stuff. I feel bad but also understand why I did all this. Now that I know better, I will do better.

[@RogerWKnight]

Kathy Loves Physics and History points out that one reason that Albert Einstein had to settle for a patent clerk job is that he could irritate people by, you guessed it, outshining them! He found the patent job both interesting and easy, and usually got 8 hours worth of work done in two hours. Allowing him to spend the rest of the day thinking about how the Universe is put together. Taking such a slacker attitude toward the patent work itself, kept him from outshining his boss, at least until the papers he wrote about the Photoelectric Effect and Special Relativity started getting traction. I've also found that a young engineer can blow an interview by assuming that they are looking for a guy who has the potential to be the Nikola Tesla of fluid mechanics! That's how I blew an interview for a civilian job with the Navy in Bremerton! Most interviewers for engineering jobs do not want to hire Nikola Tesla, Tom Edison, or Archimedes. I got hired at Boeing when the interviewer asked me about computer technology as it then existed. I gave good enough answers, but because I majored in mechanical engineering and not in computer science, I could not irritate him with a high level answer. Got the job. Looking back on this, I believe that the early Boeing Company was a great place for smart engineers to work. My dad and his generation thrived at Boeing and they were great engineers. Supervisors at that time knew the company needed Tesla and Archimedes quality engineers and actually looked for them in their interviews. By the time I came around, supervisors were looking for people who could be happy doing chicken droppings work and did not like being outshined by Wright Brothers quality designers and problem solvers, or John DeLorean quality visionaries. If you want to know why Boeing has had problems with its plastic 787 planes and with the 737 Max, I just told you. Elon Musk might be a good guy for an Edison quality engineer, but how long will his companies last before they settle into the middle age that seems to afflict companies that invariably get taken over by cost cutting bean counters? With office floor supervisors that hate being outshined?

[@timjarvis9078]

I’ve seen this happen when working in a home broadband and mobile phone company while living in New Zealand, every time there was a new position such as team leader, manager or coaching role etc it would always go to the most laziest less productive individuals only due to them being buddy buddies with other managers. I even address it in my exit interview saying the reason why all the good employees are getting up and leaving to the competition was due to them not being acknowledged and that their skills would be better appreciated elsewhere.

[@LadyBoBannon]

I don't want to coddle incompetence and put me in the position to sink with bad management. What I do well is listen and empathize and try to be available for the senior person that matters. I personally am not mad at Chads. They have learned to work an angle.I just want to go in, solve problems, and get paid. During that time I am open and friendly.

[@elbucles3973]

As an employee it certainly is good to bring solutions to the table to your boss and make everyone’s life easy. But what do you do when your boss has the habit of nitpicking your every solution simply because they are the boss and have a desperate need to have the final say? This regardless of how useful the solution is, they just need to exercise their power. This is demoralizing and honestly difficult to find a way round for. Any ideas for it? :D

[@L2PlayRunescape]

Exactly. Sometimes it might not be an employee's place to come up with the solution. The boss might rather you notify of the problem and let them handle the solutions behind the scenes. That's why they're the boss... they're supposed to have more responsibility than a regular employee. Managers are supposed to manage.

[@jausel1]

So much to learn from this video...

[@EpicDreamer_]

I really hate butt lickers but they exist. From experience and the video, I concluded that fair play doesn’t exist so much in performance review estimation. Nowadays we are so far away from democracy and normal functioning of things. If they promote only people that they personally like, isn’t it so much subjective only? This seems irrelevant and so far away from professional approach and health business organization functioning. If someone tells what is not functioning well, he tells maybe in the manner to make it better, to focus them on things that matter because we have time as important resource. Vanity is the worst enemy of all huge corporations (and organizations in general) that kills value. I really like your advices and I am doing the same thing in my case because I saw that is only the way if I want to survive - to be a politician and to do my own thing with pride and honor. I have confidence to say when some things are not so good but it’s only from the best intention. What I can share with all friends here is - enthusiasm. That is something that people like and I believe it is the essence people like, in good and bad outcomes (we can’t escape from bad outcomes while we are all learning from mistakes ). Great video dear friend!!!! Great stuff to start new year with!!!! Cheers! 🥂

[@JenniferBrick]

Ana, I love what you added here about enthusiasm. I think it's infectious and something that truly makes you stand out. And I hear you on the grievance of the social constructs we're living in. I'm also of the disruptive nature that I want to fight the current. But I think when we flow with it a bit, and when we advance we find ourselves with the power to begin making changes. We know no one here is falling into the Chad Club trap (even if they are a Chad because now they have awareness). The same psychological biases that can make us stuck can skyrocket us. Ultimately... I'm all about playing the game to change the game. Glad you're here with me!

[@EpicDreamer_]

@@JenniferBrick I adore the last sentence “…I am about to play the game to change the game.” Totally got it right! I am a leader and someone who likes changes, God gave me strong character that I respect other honest actions and honest view on things. When someone contributes to the company, he contributes with heart and compassion, with the vision that goes beyond all frontiers and creates one horizon of solutions and positive impacts on the community. The thing is, we live in the selfish world, where ego of managers is going crazy near healthy confident people. Leader is someone who makes other leaders! One thing is very important from the segment of our defense - we as professionals, contributors and team members should play smartly and elegantly in contact with “emotional and not so confident” people structures. And with all advices you said, it is a great win-win situation where we become from target,as the reflection of their insecurities, to shining master of change!!!!!

[@dcabral00]

Great video! I appreciate these truths. My concern with the first two is that you may end up looking disingenuous if you try to be just like your boss, when you aren't, and you try to get in his good side when you are so different from him or her, you may end up being accused of brown-nosing. The other two are great solutions in my opinion because you are there to solve problems, and your boss and co-workers ideally should feel relieved that you are working, rather than "oh no!..."

I think software development is massively negatively affected, a lot of people without proper qualifications are hired (also due to affirmative action) and although they contribute almost nothing they get massive protection, etc. ... the companies just have too much money, the manager can sell everything upwards, the higher ups don't have a grasp of the reality of what's going on... if in an team there 2 people doing the work and 2 slackers, the higher ups only see the work gets done, they don't see how good it could be if 4 people worked on it, and if something takes longer, the manager just asks and gets more money more time for his project, thing is the 2 productive people would leave he could basically close down the department, because nothing would get done anymore ... the problem is there is no ambition in any software department to build anything great, it's just soso software that somehow runs and needs to be extended, if you add someone good or bad it doesn't really matter, yeah maybe new bugs get introduced, the work is not getting done faster or even gets slower (!) ... it just doesn't matter, and for being good at your job you even get envie ... wtf have I signed up for

I will never quit to make these bums ever win and if I transfer to another hospital and mobbing starts again I don't know all the managers ect like in every department like now. So best to not change hospitals. Never let bullies try to control you from quitting. Never let bums win in life.jjj

Needs to be fired

Bogus. Being able to related 99% of the time in the US has to do with your race and background. I guess the reason my boss and I haven’t jived all this time despite hard work and sincerity is because my race is wrong. Thank you for informing me.

[@SB-gq7fp]

90% of the comments are people coming here to complain about how they disagree. Why are you watching this? Lol go use this valuable time to invest in real estate or start a business

[@prworswick]

You didn't like the new matrix movie?!!!

[@JenniferBrick]

I wanted to love it. I was so excited. I thought the whole trilogy was so perfect... so maybe my expectations were too high because of that and the trailer looked so good. Bought opening night tickets to see it and everything... And I was really disappointed 😢

[@prworswick]

@@JenniferBrick maybe that's where it was different for me, I went in there expecting the worst 😅 and came out somewhat surprised that they managed to pull off carrying on the main story line with dead characters. And come on, reuniting trinity and neo, was pretty special as well 🙌🏻

[@cindydillon4995]

Why is it that every video like this is talking about an office setting? What about healthcare? I work in healthcare and it’s a different level of frustrating having to pick up the lazy coworkers slack. It’s physical, exhausting, backbreaking work. Not everyone works in accounting.

I don’t think I like Chad.

[@sienkiewiczmonika1161]

It's a well known fact that people love to blame other people for their mistakes. Maybe you're doing something wrong?! It hasn't to be a big mistake, just tiny but enough significant one.

[@DR-ts4eh]

Damn on youtube "Chad" is everywhere.

[@RFinkle2]

Interesting that the “bad” employees have guy names and the “good” employees have girl names

[@hazelcornell4311]

Navigating an office environment is basically dealing with an endless stream of lazy, useless, and incompetent men and an equally endless stream of angry, self-important, overbearing women. In the video, the fuck-offs have male names, which is generally accurate. It's not unlike romantic relationships, honestly. How many articles do you see where a husband is whining that his wife doesn't don't do her share of the chores, or does things in an unacceptably slipshod, half-assed way? (Few if any, because if there's a lazy, incompetent asshole in a house, it's almost always the man.) Equally, how many articles do you see where a wife is complaining that her meddlesome husband acts like without his constant overbearing interference, the entire household would immediately fall apart? (Few if any, because if there's a resentful, self-important asshole in the house, it's almost always the woman.)

[@L2PlayRunescape]

She's female and promoted the females lol

[@Herculiz22]

Bro, it's annoying as hell considering that the lazy co worker at my company is a girl

[@pickyourbrainswithbenjamin761]

Ehhhh kissing my bosses rear end

[@ihsaniap6410]

It is so simple as far as I am concerned...think about it! Because lazy person can influence his or her colleagues to work hard and make great team....so it means lazy person can order and lead his or her colleagues...lazy person has a genuine leadership...

B.S. you must be Friends with Teresa Hernandez. Both Brown Noser.

I deleted the racial comment you left. If your situation is this frustrated you need to take it out on minority groups and internet strangers (who help, for free), I highly suggest plotting your exit while you find more positive and productive coping mechanisms (I have more free videos on both those things)

[@nunyabizness8246]

Bro. Get a better mic.

[@juniorguerrero4488]

Or maybe your not producing as much as you think? If your unhappy at every job maybe your the problem.

[@alyssadestany]

Or maybe that’s not your purpose 🙂 God bless you!

Or maybe satisfying your boss is like a moving target with unrealistic expectations.

I like my job, love the company I work for. But literally hate everyone at my branch, especially my boss. I'm just trying to find something else unfortunately.

[@user-jh6wt9oj6n]

This is whats wrong with our generation. Everyone is so damn sensitive and afraid to actually tell there boss they are a moron and they will stop working hard and work at the level the favored one works at. Its hilarious to watch the shift change. Its unfortunate that we have to lower our standards and work ethic to match some bastards management of there employees.
