"Kevin," a marketing coordinator. Behavior: Kevin never refills the communal coffee pot. When the pot is empty, he uses the single-serve pod machine (which he knows irritates his eco-conscious boss).

Outcome: Kevin is not fired, because his quarterly reports are excellent. He has successfully arbitraged his professional value against his domestic laziness. The office has created a "Coffee Schedule" that Kevin ignores. The ticket price has inflated to mild passive aggression from Janet in accounting.
