I hate hate hate these people. I have so many of them in my life and they are so stressful to be around. Always talking about how hard they work and bitching that no one works as hard as they do, always making you feel lazy for wanting to have a goddamn life. I swear this type of bootlicking coworker is one of the biggest roadblocks to better working conditions. I know, I know, worker solidarity and all that but damn it's hard not to want to scream at them to fuck off sometimes.

    I think there's an easy explanation for this behavior that doesn't require any significant issues, or any truly malicious behavior: a lot of parts of any job suck, and people don't like to do things that suck. If there's a choice between doing something that sucks or dragging one's feet and getting someone else to do it, plenty of people are going to pick the latter. Avoiding things that suck (especially avoidance via inaction) is a pretty common human characteristic.
