Why not talk to the night-coder? The best bosses I have ever had were the ones who actively told me to work less. It's so rare to hear that in our industry that you may just earn yourself some real loyalty.

[edit] To clarify: the guy not pulling his weight is IMHO a separate issue from the guy who works at night. If the guy not pulling his weight is forcing other people to work more though, by all means don't let that happen. Then you have two problems on your hands instead of one.

Ah, thank you. Now I feel we are on the same page. The nightcoder- talking to him is something I was not considering so far, but now am.

Could we also talk a bit more about the problem I was trying to get around to - how do you solve the second problem? How do I 'by all means don't let that happen'?
