People who can do the work of THREE people are terribly unpopular. I know-I used to be one.

Looking right now.

Working like that is what earned me a ticket out of the toll central office equipment engineering group. I always had my work done, so a few of my co-workers complained that I didn't have enough work. My boss responded by taking offices from them and making them my responsibility. I was handed the 'really awful' offices. Same result. My work was complete, my desk was clear. The complaints resumed and another round of dumping problem offices ensued. Same result again. The new complaint was that I had all the offices and many people didn't have enough to do. It wasn't 'fair'. Frankly, many of those people were professional slugs. They worked as slowly as possible to give the impression that the work was difficult and time consuming. Demonstrating otherwise wasn't very popular. I was thankful to find a far more interesting line of work inside the company.
