go-fers

Office errand staff

Go-fers is a plural of gofer, a person who runs errands and does minor tasks for others—so called because they "go for" coffee, copies, or whatever is needed.

The spelling with a hyphen emphasizes this origin: The director had three go-fers handling everything from lunch orders to script deliveries.
