They could have some “quiet quit”. Robots with mundane jobs that don’t get enough stimulation or rewards end up spending most of their time parked in a corner or closet. When they do move, they move at ~50% their design speed.
Some robots could steal food from the refrigerator; some could spray strong perfumes; some could chat up the management then go fuck up a staff person’s work to make them look bad.
The possibilities are endless.
I think I've seen robot vacuums that have done just that kind of quiet quit. Non robot ones, too, when I think of it.
So, like a dog.
