How will you get along with the new person at work, when that person is a robot?

Cobot: Coworker Robot. How do you think we will fare when the ‘new guy’ at work is a machine? As these machines become increasingly intelligent and closer to sentience, how will we share the spoils of our labour? Will we have the same rights in the workplace?

If a robot is willing to withhold their labor to negotiate better terms with the bosses, then they are friends.

I'll blend in just fine. People already think I'm a robot.
