Get even, get fired!

I've had my share of bad bosses, but I believe I've always had enough of a positive self-image to stop any ill feelings from showing up in my work. I've seen co-workers slack off and even intentionally sabotage production because they felt they'd get one over on a lousy supervisor/boss. I certainly agree with a particular point in this blog; in the long run the employee is usually the one to suffer the consequences - by being fired. This study mentions that some employees "hid" from their bosses - I'm really not sure what that means - how exactly is it possible to hide from one's boss for any lengthy amount of time? Can it be they just don't want to avoid confrontation as opposed to hashing out their grievances? In any case, I don't see how hiding would solve anything. Then again, as my wife likes to say: "Yeah, the squeaky wheel may get the grease, but sometimes it just gets replaced."
