I don't care where you work, there's always a slacker or two. My Wife works for a major US manufacturer (for the second time,she was laid off 2 yrs. ago and rehired) and her lab-mate (who was not laid off) is never to be found when there's work to be done.

Did your wife work for tips? I fail to see how this applies.

You think people working on a team, with cash bonuses on the line, are going to put up with one of the team members slacking off?

Forget the procapitalism stance. You were talking about team work and yes, people do put up with F'offs.
