The saying "give a lazy person a task and he'll find the fastest method to get around it" is frequently used by those who are themselves lazy. But in my opinion, that's just nonsense. If you give a diligent worker a task, he will seek out the most effective strategy for completing it successfully.
There are likely to be lazy people at work, but I don't believe that I or anyone else with a decent head on their shoulders would recruit one of them.
