nonperformers
Those who watch
Nonperformers are people or things that fail to perform adequately or produce expected results.
In business, nonperformers are employees who don't meet standards or investments that yield poor returns: The company let go of its nonperformers during restructuring.
The term implies falling short of what's required rather than simply not participating.
