A very nice article that has come out very descriptive and elaborate, narrating people's behavior in the workplace by using their seniors' names to get things done, which is an act to hide their incompetence.

Very informative and honest article.
Along with such cases, there is a slightly different behavior but belonging to the same class. Here the subordinate is incompetent, so becomes a complete yes-man and behaves like a minion to the boss. ONLY THIS WAY HE CAN SURVIVE. And trust me, I have seen even very seasoned managers falling into this psychophancy trap. But this behavior eventually spoils the culture wherein now everybody becomes pleasing rather than sincere. There is no constructive questioning. Such organizations find it difficult to grow. Please share your thoughts on this as well.

I started a thread https://www.citehr.com/332858-how-en...-students.html with an aim to educate individuals on ACCOUNTABILITY & RESPONSIBILITY. I had come across many employees with such an attitude as they are habitual in buttering up their bosses to get their things done. I knew that they are not competent, but still, bosses love to work with such professionals. It's difficult to get rid of such individuals, and I don't think HR can do something to bring relevant changes because certain HR professionals themselves are practicing such an attitude just to safeguard their job. I feel really pity on them.

Hello Sanjeev Sir,
Indeed, your write-up has brought forth the work culture that is followed in many places. I would like to add to your write-up that the boss should also put in some effort to communicate the right thing to the right person. At times, the situation is such that the entire world is told about something, and the HR is not even considered to be in the communication loop. Anyways, thank you for such explosive case studies.

Hi all,
I have experienced such situations many times. Due to this, I decided that if I were to face such a situation again, I would tell them, "I also spoke to Mr. MD or CEO, but he replied to me, 'I won't say anything about this work to anybody'." This is how I responded to them.

Dear All,
These kinds of employees are often found in any organization, as they have a fear of losing their jobs, which is why they behave like this. One should communicate with them and help them understand that their position requires accountability and responsibility. It can be challenging to get them to comprehend this, but it is not impossible.
Cheers and have a good day, everyone.

Excellent observation mostly these are the buttering tools and many boss also prefer such type of people ultimately they are harmful for organization and problem creator.

Hi Sanjeev,
Very well written. Organizations are filled with such individuals who neither want to take responsibility nor allow others to step forward and assume responsibility. On the contrary, they are always wary of proactive and intelligent colleagues. Needless to say, these individuals strive to get closer to the Strategic Business Units (SBUs) and Management, leaving no opportunity to undermine the right candidates.
