I didn't say MY co-workers do a crappy job (although some of them don't try as hard as others). I just said a lot of people do. "Crappy" isn't really the right word, I was being overdramatic ... but a lot of people put in a little less than they should, because heck, that approach has worked for a lot of people for years. What I have to question in your statement is, how do you know what the "clowns" on Wall Street are like? I'm sure a lot of them are nitwits, but I'm sure a lot are intelligent people who are doing their jobs and are suffering because of the mistakes of others (both above them and below them). I don't really know ... but I also don't just assume they're all jerks, any more than the people at my company are. That was my whole point ... a company's failure isn't always reflective of the work of its various staff. I work extremely hard, and so do many of my co-workers, but our company is failing (it's a newspaper, if that helps explain anything). So I have to think that there are other failing companies with plenty of hard-working, intelligent people, too.
