Sparkle pony

A high maintenance person who is unprepared for a harsh work environment and becomes a burden to their teammates. You may keep them around because they make you feel good about yourself, but they are the target of verbal abuse and the butt of jokes.

Worker 1: "Why is Ken still around?"

Worker 2: "Eh. He's a pain but he's easy to make fun of. It's always nice to have a 'sparkle pony' on the team."
