Barbara,

Yes it does ruin it for the others.  While we claim to be professionals it 
does drag others down when some of the crew doesn't pull their weight.  For 
example, we had a shift of personnel here, (no inbound or outbound, just 
minor management musical chairs).  Anyways one salaried analyst got assigned 
to another person.  One of their first questions was "Are you going to expect 
me to start working 40 hours?  So and so doesn't".

Why does this matter?  Does a programmer have to be typing constantly to be
working?  Maybe they were thinking.  Maybe today just isn't their day and
they are taking a walk to clear their head rather than write an hour's
worth
of buggy code that will take between hours and never to debug.

Assuming there is a problem with this person, you shouldn't have to catch
them
"napping" to prove that they aren't doing their job.

The implication in "ruins it for the others" alarms me.
