Yes, I feel I should raise with my manager, but I feel a bit guilty about potentially putting their livelihood at risk.

I'm usually the type to not worry about low performers because I have little skin in the game. So I don't care so much unless my personal productivity is impacted by them or the code base becomes more unstable as a result (which impacts me because of on call). The latter is not an issue right now as we're pretty proactive about reviewing each others PR's here. Even more so when get PR's from junior members or known low performers.

The former could be an issue as if I'm pairing with this person but forbidden from sharing that info, then I could be seen as twiddling my thumbs and not doing much (mentoring is usually rewarded in this company and is considered part of your productivity).

Once you get a bit experienced you will feel nothing for these people. They are taking your livelihood one shitty dev at a time.

I hate that I agree.
