I know I should probably do something. But I don't.
  • Oh Lord...

    ...I have worked with people like the two of you.

    There may be cogs around us that have also stopped working

    Maybe, but it's more likely that the other cogs are working harder because you're not doing crap. Witness the reassigned project of the LW. If you can't find within yourself an ethical framework that demands you do your work, if it means nothing to you that projects assigned to you end up being done with someone else, if you silently gloat that your slack ass is not fired by your superiors but you ignore the fact that others on your level have to pick you up because they're internally motivated and you aren't, then do them all a favor and quit and go on the dole. Pity the poor navel-gazer, ever oblivious to the unintended consequences of his own inaction. Bah!!
