I just got done reading an article about “Why Bad Employees Do Not Get Fired“. Life experiences have taught me most of the reasons why though some of them did surprise me. I hadn’t thought of some of the reasons but they made sense once I came across them. I loved the conclusion of the article though. In a nut shell, if whatever another employee is doing is not personally hurting you or causing potential damage to the company…..just do your job and let the the bosses do theirs. It is the boss’ job to ride herd on their employees, not another co-worker. My take on it is that if you have time to watch everyone else, then you have too much time on your hands and should have your job description revised to reflect and utilize your organization abilities to get a job done.

after reading the article…and being a boss myself….I agree with about 4 of the reasons.
Interesting Article and I work in HR!
amen. I have a co-worker that’s so incompetent, but my boss tolerates him as there’s no one else to replace him. but as soon as there is GOODBYE!
One would probably have to do something outrageously ridiculous to get fired anyway. Plus there’s that whole ordeal with rehiring and severance packages, etcetc. Interesting read.
Nice to meet you! Thank you for commenting!
Re your post: I agree to most of what you said. I’ve no interest in office politics. Just mind my own business.
So according to the article, the key to sucking is to know the boss somehow. Either have him like you, or be afraid of you, but either way, know the boss.
very true
Have a great Thanksgiving. Love to you, Judi
