dogsbody
Office errand person
A dogsbody is a person assigned menial tasks or drudge work, especially in a workplace hierarchy.
The term is primarily British: I spent my internship as a dogsbody, fetching coffee and making copies.
It implies being at everyone's beck and call, doing whatever unpleasant jobs others don't want.
