menially

In lowly fashion

Menially means in a manner befitting menial work—tasks that are humble, low-status, or require little skill.

The word describes how someone performs such work or is treated as though fit only for it: He spent his summers menially employed as a dishwasher.

The term can carry condescension when applied to people rather than tasks.
