I guess I'm one of those people. If you don't want to work then stay at home. Seriously if I'm there working hard, so should you.
I say this as a "professional" - crappy teenage jobs and nonsense like that doesn't count of course.

I think it's important between people performing the same job to all work reasonably hard. If they are all being paid the same amount, and one of the workers is pulling far more weight, all the others should step it up a bit. The problem is you run into so many people who just want to do the bare minimum ALL the time. It's fine to have off-days and distractions from other parts of your life, but when you are constantly underproductive, that's kinda screwed up.

If you are working hard what's it got to do with you what someone else is doing? Mind your own business. If someone wants to laze around all day looking at the Internet it's up to them.
If you are in a team and doing more work than others, so what? Your job is to work hard, not spy on others. If someone is slacking it will soon become apparent and that person will get pulled up.
Why can't people in this life let others DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO!!
I am self-employed, but when I worked in offices I always remember those wankers with nothing better to do than grass me up for a long lunch or whatever. They usually do it so they can get their dick sucked by the boss.
Ask yourself? What's worse, being lazy at work to the detriment of your own career, or being a slimy creep spying on your workmates and grassing them up. If your workmates are being lazy, be happy for them - cos they are happy being lazy. Otherwise you're a cunt.

Yep, this is my POV. Everyone has the odd day they are a bit ill, tired, hungover, distracted by some recent problem in their family life or just not feeling very productive. It's no problem, unless it's all the time. I'd resent someone in my team who always did b-all, solely because it'd mean more work for me. I would view it as "covering for someone" when it was once in a while.
Of course, the way in which someone asks you to crack on with some work makes a huge difference. A jokey comment like, "stop looking at that scud and get back to work you slacker!" is far better than some sanctimonious sod seriously telling you off as though they are your boss.

Oh yes, actually grassing someone up is a big no no. I'd only do it if the rest of the department were in agreement and we'd confronted the person concerned and given them a chance to shape up.

What about the overachievers then? The ones who work too hard ALL the time with apparently no life but work, making our boss stretch the limit of what is considered to be an average amount of work because the statistics say so... Now, we don't wanna be below average now, do we? No sir, I'd rather have a pineapple inserted violently into my rectum.

In reference to my earlier comment, when two people at a company are performing completely different jobs, neither of those people has any right to tell the other how to do their job. The exception that comes to mind is when coworkers are part of the same team, with similar responsibilities and a shared deadline. In that scenario, it's perfectly acceptible to tell your coworkers to increase productivity if they are making a habit of slacking, because if they fail, it reflects poorly upon your own performance. (I would hope that most bosses are reasonable enough to determine where the fault truly lies and not blame those who did their work, but this isn't always the case.) A good rule of thumb is to only worry about your own productivity, unless as I previously stated, other workers' failure would reflect badly upon you.

my main rule of thumb is to stay slightly more productive than the other guy just so he looks bad and not me. that creates bad blood between me and that guy though. who cares right?

What I can't stand is when you finish something quickly or have a few minutes to slack off, and a dickhead supervisor assigns you some menial task to occupy you. I had a job stocking ambulances and when I got too efficient at managing the supplies, I started having time to loaf around with the paramedics or on the internet, and the cocksucker get to me to fucking dust the closet or some shit.

That's when you pull the job-description card. If you were hired to stock supplies, tell them it's not in your job-description to do custodial tasks, and that the task should be deferred to the person who was hired to perform it (the custodian). That usually gets dickhead supervisors fairly red in the face. >:)

If you have work to do, do it, and your co-workers are right to remind you and even hassle you. If you don't have work to do, say it like it is.
I have had the problem of being too effective; I hate breaks, and I usually feel the responsibility so heavily that I won't stop until I'm done. This has, on occasions, made me finish my work early, so I have some free time at work. I see no problem with spending this free time doing nothing as long as my work has been done, and has been done well; I'm being paid for the hours I spend working, and they say a person working normally would take about an hour more than I would at my job, so I just finish before it, but I've done the job of a normal person. I'm supposed to be paid by the hour, but if I'd rather be paid the proper amount for my job.

I have a slightly differen perspective by not working in an office. the yank in the opposite barn throws lumps of oak into the other barn when myself and others are standing around chatting instead of chopping up wood. im very low paid, but would work harder if there was incentive.
in the mean time I love hearing him say "get back to work you limey slug" makes me laugh every time
