That depends on what you mean by lazy. One way the individual just does no work, another the individual steals code that works modifies it just enough to get the job done, a third, the individual writes relitively little code but what they write is what's necessary and sufficient to get the job done, (I've worked for companies where that was penalized, which is simply stupid, but the metric they judged by was lines of code produced per day), and the fourth the writes tones of code without thought, and may or may not get the job done, but they have a lot to show for their effort, no matter how little that really was. The first should be fired. The last probably will end up as a technical writer, from which position they should be fired.

Oh, boo!

As someone in that field who just had to deal with a lazy cow-orker for the 
past two years before he finally left the company (why he was not fired, I have 
no idea) I just have to say Noooooooo!!!
