How many people think that laziness is being encouraged in corporate america?

To an extent I can definitely see where managers do not reward hard workers proportionately to how much more they do. But then on the flip side it could also be (and I'm not saying this is true) that those people work more efficiently and therefore get their work done. For example, I work efficiently because I can program small tasks that other people do manually, and even when I offer my programs they would rather do it manually, so I spend about 6 to 8 hours really working hard, whereas other people can't finish their day to day in 8 hours. But, my manager has taken some stuff from other people and given it to me, and that has increased the time it takes me, but I am still done in less than 8 hours most days. On the flip side, my coworker just got fired last week because she was a major slacker, but I know that there are people who slack a little and get away with it.
