I know a person at work who is a burden to the company. He tends to talk a lot and has excuses for practically every one of his failures.

At the heart of it, he is a smart chap who can use his mouth to weasel out everything and looks on the surface like a hard worker, but when you scratch beneath the surface, he is doing a lot of unproductive stuff and never achieving any milestones.

Is there a proper english word to describe these kind of people? I sometimes say "weasel" or "teflon", "snake king" but surely there was be some kind of pathological condition to describe such people.

Thanks to all who up my points!

After I kenna points deducted just for having a Malay nick, I would like to thank all the kind souls who gave me even more points after.

Thank you to those who lifted up my points! I wish I knew who you are and I will do the same next time when I can give point!

You are describing my ex-HongKee boss. The word is "mo-lan-yung".

Kept seeing the word sadplumpgirl in my mind when I read this thread.
