Talks sports and "his hobbies" all the time and turns in work that often needs to be checked, but knows the boss by name and just does enough not to be let go at layoffs is somehow more qualified than the equally credentialed woman or minority worker who will make the effort to come in early or stay late to make deadlines, produces work that doesn't need to be checked, and only occasionally jokes or chats with co worker.
