I've never seen these kind of people (Tim). Almost always, it is someone who knows absolutely nothing, meanders from desk to desk, wasting productive people's time, picking their brains. They are usually never given any work, because someone else has to undo the damage and do the work!

Then then socialize with managers outside of the team, bragging about how much 'value' they're adding and they can talk as if they helped others. They move around a lot, getting promoted each, adding no value other than just talk with no clue on how to do things.
