Beerslave

A person (often a friend) engaged on an ad hoc basis to perform a specific, often menial task within a larger project and compensated in beer after completion of the task.

Well, we had an engineer, some carpenters and of course Jack and John as the beerslaves helped out quite a bit.

Think

office judo 

The art of turning the aggressive momentum of a colleague towards himself or a common goal.

Becky stormed in with her TPS cover sheet bullshit but after five minutes found herself getting coffee for everyone. It was all because of Jane, she has a black belt in office judo.
