If you're not around, who's going to do their work?

There are many ways to calmly deal with an annoying roommate. What most people do, presumable, is just try and ignore that roommate as much as they can, and live as separately as they can.

If you've ever rented, you're probably familiar with the concept of security deposits . On top of paying your first and last month's rent, your landlord will probably hit you up for that deposit. A lot of people just eat the cost, knowing that they'll be putting up shelves or painting or otherwise causing “damage” in their apartment (we all know it's not really…

Something like tying themselves to said landmark, or organizing a protest with other people in order to stop its removal.

Usually, it's wise to have multiple persons capable of maintaining the continuity of the important areas of your organization. This means not having a single employee who knows essential company processes, secrets, codes, and passwords that can't otherwise be found, learned, or replicated by someone else.
