when I am supposed to fix tech debt? if every week there is another functionality going out that needs to be done yesterday? Do you think that I have to do it in my free time? Why should I even bother existing
Laziness is not working hard.
What you're talking about is something else.
Sloppy or Careless work maybe?
But not lazy. If you're working 40+ hours a week you're definitely not lazy.
You can absolutely put in a lot of hours, but be putting in near-zero effort. This results in sloppy or careless work, but the root cause is the laziness of the person.
If someone is producing a high volume of low effort work, they are not lazy. What they are is not disciplined, or not skilled.
If someone is producing low volumes of high effort work, they are similarly not lazy, they are highly skilled and maybe a perfectionist
If someone is producing high volumes of high effort work they are a either a one of a kind savant or they are lying about the volume or effort.
If someone is producing low volumes of low effort work, then maybe we can call them lazy.
