Zen and the Art of Remaining Employed

In this episode of production notes Tom and Charles discuss upcoming guests and employees with a talent for achieving a Zen state - they're in all the team pictures, they go to all the offsite birthday parties and participate in the sack race at the company picnic. They are liked, ride the consensus in every meeting, and manage to coast on their well-cloaked marginal usefulness, having drifted into a Zen state of suspended ambiguousness: there but no there, central but peripheral, constant but disposable. Great work if you can get it!
