More and more there are people like that out there, drawing a paycheck for just showing up on a job. And more and more, there are employers that put up with it! I just don't get it. The job inconviences their lives but they keep showing up.

He is only doing what his employer is allowing him to do and everyone else is enableing him to do. By keeping quiet about it and not reporting him to management, all of you are helping him DO IT! It WILL all catch up with him one day, you can bet on that. The more they get away with it, the braver they get and sooner or later, he will hang himself with his own behavior.

I use to BEG my crew for us to all get together and go to our boss to report what one was doing and NOBODY would! That guy got so cocky because he knew nobody was telling but when he started his personal attacks on ME, in front of the rest of the crew, I called the office on him and that stopped him dead in his tracks.... after that, he was my best freind... (Yea, right!) His cockyness, verbal cut downs and abuse will nail him one day and I will wait for that day to come. If you can wait it out, your fella will get what he is due. They DO hang themsleves, just give then the time and they will get what they got coming... I have seen it over and over, the odds ARE against them...
