The lazy guy

The lazy guy and the engineers

When I started to work, some time ago, there was a guy who was already working there, just a year before me.

Then, my working team was formed by seven or eight people, they all was people that studied the same career as me.

All of them but one was engineer. Early working was great, we were happy at work.

Just a few months after, when I was talking with him who wasn't an engineer, he told "I'm very happy because I've the same job as an engineer without the need of studying. I think studying is not important, all of you've been wasting your time"

This was an issue that turned me so angry but I finally thought that he was not serious and he has no intention to hurt us. I never believed how much I had mistaken.

During this while our teamwork was growing and growing, a few months after I started to work six or seven people more increased our team. All of them were engineers too but this one, this one who was happy to not to be an engineer.

I can't remember when, but I remember I told this conversation to a new component of our team, he couldn't belive that, but when the time was passing some of my mates had similar conversations with this guy.

Bi-yearly our company gives a price to the hardest worker people in the company, to the three to five most able to do his/her work.

Our team has become important in our company, not for be the most pretty, not to be hard workers, just to be one of the teams that earns more money.

Due to that, the site manager selected our team to win the price, that was great! one of us will be rewarded to all the work we do all days, great!

From my view, this changed the course of our working trajectories. Our manager selected the "lazy man" to win the price, that was really frustrating.

the guy who told us that we wasted our time in university?
the guy who is the laziest one?
the guy who never done his work at time?
the guy who always accomplish to "balance/share" his work to another team mate?

Yeah, that really happened.

Today, the engineers in our company are still waiting for the end of the story because all stories has a happy ending.

We're waiting the ours one
