More likely it is just that they have a bad manager not willing to go through the process of firing them. I know as a manager firing people sucks but you sometimes need to do it to keep the rest working the best together. Companies do make it really hard sometimes.

As a non manager, keeping parasites around is bad for moral.

Firing them is also bad for morale, for different reasons. Only solution is to not hire parasites in the first place.

It’s not. People who work hard don’t like when others are doing little and getting paid.

It makes them question why THEY are the suckers doing the hard work.

I suppose keeping "parasites" around, until eventually slowly slowly firing them, is the worst?
