The loafer is one you must avoid.

He is the one to whom good fortune remains unseen. To be aligned with him is to blind yourself to various opportunities and stunt your potential. You can easily spot the loafer in a meeting: he is the one who is late, unprepared, and so uninterested that he takes apathy to new levels with his lack of involvement. The loafer will rarely make his idleness obvious in the presence of a superior, but his nonverbal cues invariably give him away: roaming eyes, slouched posture, lack of note-taking, and a static seating position regardless of who is speaking.
