Trait's may be interrupted as attribute sliders, but people aren't judged that way. They are judged by the summation of their traits, and often they posses traits that counterbalance each other. I know plenty of people who shirk work, but they also have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, so they might not work very hard but they are still useful to a group. I know people who take no blame and don't accept feedback, but still manage to develop key skills that get them promoted (ability to deflect blame does seem correlated with long term corporate success).

Smaller organizations seem to expose negative traits quicker, but as long as you find your herd, you can be perfectly mediocre and still have an upper middle class life.

Now if someone has all those traits, life may really suck for them. I also know people who fall under that umbrella.
