[TOMT][Article] Article or blog post about how people at work are chumps or cheaters
Author Summary

Post Body

I'm looking for a blog post or article that I read about two or three years ago, about the kinds of people in a corporate workplace. It essentially said that there were the people who did work, which it called 'chumps,' and then people who play the system of gaining power and influence, which it called 'cheaters.' (This is how I remember it, but I could be getting the terms wrong.) The article has a fairly worked-out discussion of how people wind up in these categories, how their behaviors affect each other, and so on. There may have been more than two categories.

I know this isn't much to go on. Google results are overwhelmed by self-help/clickbait "the seven kinds of office workers" type articles. This article wasn't like that - it was cynical, realistic, and maybe even written by an academic with knowledge of organizational behavior theory. (Though it was not an academic paper.)

All help gratefully accepted!
