Jessica,
The situation sounds terrible – we had a similar situation in my company once. I don't think that you and your colleagues should try to deal with Keith yourselves. That could lead to trouble. Is there a manager above Lionel that you could go to see? Instead of talking about Keith directly, you could suggest that some regular performance reviews of employees’ work would be useful. The company will find out sooner or later that Keith is not productive and is just causing problems. Or am I being unrealistic?
