Badhaven

Despite their crap work they get paid market salary and yet they constantly complain about them being treated unfair when in reality they don't even deserve 1% of their pay! They look at other employees who progress due to their good work and complain all of these people have progressed due to sucking up! They pray multiple hours a day and say everything good and bad happens due to Karma yet they themselves don't believe in this shit which is evident from their jealousy and anger towards others progressing! They complain and cry everyday but for decades they still stay in the same govt job and don't leave because they deep inside know they are absolutely worthless! They are massive burden on the govt department and also the society!
John working in the X Dept of the govt over the past 30 years is a Badhaven!
