I'm pretty much watching two people in our lab do nothing, or next to nothing, daily. One of them was almost laid off back in November, and I have no idea WHY they didn't (oh yeah, because she told them a few years ago she would sue them for racial discrimination if they ever fired her).
It's so aggravating watching people around you do nothing, when they are lucky enough to have a job instead of sitting around hoping for one. Luckily I dont have to work directly with either of them, but they are in the same lab room as I am (they do all metals, I do solely mercury, and usually do more than they do - there's 4 of them!) I just feel bad when the other 1st shift guy is over there trying to do everything at once when the other two women sit there and watch and mess on the computer.
Some people are so irritating! I would find a way to let your boss/supervisor know for sure. Unfortunately in my case, the boss AND our team leader already knows, but that one reason keeps him from firing her I guess.
