Cordless kettle abuse

The company I work for provides a kettle for employees use. It is a
cordless kettle.

Problem is, we have some drongo employees who persist in picking it up
before it has reached its switch-off point, and without turning it off,
which results in spark erosion and premature failure of the cordless
contacts.

Does anyone know of a kettle with defence against this abuse?

JUNK is stuff that you keep for 20 years,
then throw away a week before you need it.

Have you tried pink slips? Fire a couple of the worst offenders and
see what happens.

Good idea. How do we catch them?

How about a video camera and time lapse recorder?

No thanks, it's cheaper to keep a stock of spare kettles.

Cheaper still to not buy replacements.
