We lost several essential people on our team, and somehow the laziest person is still here. Can somebody make it make sense for me, please? How is this good for the company?

I think my Director was cut because he took the blame for comp issues when our data is horrible. SLT has zero clue on what it takes to do these jobs. Can't wait to see which friend of the VP takes the job. Not planning to stay long enough for the new leader to push all thw work on us
Many years ago, prior to joining Comcast, I had a boss tell me, "a good system administrator is a lazy system administrator." I internalized that, and still live by it today. Work smarter, not harder. If I appear lazy, then I'm doing it right.
Honestly time to get lazier!
The axe is gonna fall anyway
Jeez, if you're going to call me out like that, at least send me an email and be direct about it 😃
@a5 a true lazy person has a good workflow? Defending the lazy is the problem here. The lazy stay, impactful workers go.
Maybe you only perceive them as being lazy because a true lazy person has really good work flows and strategy for avoiding negative criticism, gets their work done so they can create downtime for themselves. They also automate things and know who to talk to, if I handle something efficiently and correctly I don't have to deal with it any longer/get bothered by anyone.
I'm super lazy but one of the top performers in my dept for these reasons.
