The inbuilt performance culture of every institution is open to abuse, from those who are too lazy but too powerful to the overworked and underrepresented. Those not usually calculated in are the staff who cover over their own performance.
These are those who have a more evasive outlook on life. They overlook their own activity – and even offer to do the same for others – in order to keep up speed in the office. It results in career promotions and entitlements that aren’t deserved.
The disgruntled feeling as other staff find out is palpable. The informant said her feelings were confused over it. She would do the same, but she figured not for that long or for that much. It was felt too much was being creamed off the top of their job.
The perpetrator had manipulated her performance statistics to hide her oversights. An investigation showed thousands of mistakes in a few weeks, avoiding proper work and aiming to make life difficult for others. It was a case of live and let die.
