clock-watcher
Impatient waiting employee
A clock-watcher is someone who anxiously monitors the time, especially an employee counting down minutes until quitting time.
The term implies disengagement—working only for the paycheck rather than caring about the job itself: He's such a clock-watcher, he's packed up and ready to go at 4:55.
