I worked with a Scott that was awful. He was on-call one weekend but didn't feel like actually leaving the house when there was an emergency, so he called a new hire that was junior to him who he was not in a management position over and told him to go on-site. I was in a management position over the both of them, so when I learned he did it I made sure Scott took over four of the new hire's on-call weekends once he was in the rotation. Fuck you Scott, don't take advantage of new hires.

Scott later had a bit of very important of project work. He was a senior IT dude and the project called for senior-level knowledge. The motherfucker took the time that he was supposed to do the project work that I worked hard to carve out for him and just fucked off. Didn't matter that I had coordinated a downtime window with multiple vendors, the client and the client's clients, he just did not do the work. When asked why he didn't he simply said "Oh, I'll get to it." I sent him the email chain where he had acknowledged the downtime window and asked how he would do that. He never got back to me, as he had been called into a meeting where he got fired for OTHER SHIT. Fuck you Scott, I'm the reason your unemployment insurance claim was rejected. The other managers didn't want to fight it but when I brought up the on-call shenanigans they all got on board with giving you the finger.
