There is this person, let's call them 'X', who has managed to do no work for almost the entire time that they have worked at 'Y' place.
X comes to work, watches some mind-numbingly awful reality crap, makes excuses and goes right back home.
X knows nothing, shows zero initiative, zero growth and infinite proclivity to learn nothing.
When assigned a task, X's first response is to ask for help. And this 'help' translates into other people explaining every little thing to them (which ultimately ends with other people doing it themselves because it's easier than correcting the mess X is likely to make).
No one likes to work with X, because that means they will have to pull X's dead-weight around for the entire project. So, eventually, people end up working around X instead of working with X.
X's incompetency and utter lack of logical thought is the butt of office jokes. At times, X's decibel levels far exceeds their IQ level, giving people headaches.
But X is given no responsibility. Which means X is never criticized. It also means everyone else's workload is doubled. But that doesn't matter when management only cares that work is done, not about who does it.
Nevermind the fact that they are an absolute pain in the you-know-where, whom nobody respects, essentially, X gets paid for doing nothing. Sometimes, they're even given a pat on the back simply for staying out of the way.
So what do you call this person, who does absolutely nothing except create a nuisance of themselves?
A bumbling, inept, lazy idiot? Or a frickkin' genius?

I'm not really sure, to be honest.
