office drones
Mundane job holders
Office drones are employees who perform routine, monotonous work in corporate or administrative settings, often with little autonomy or creative engagement.
The term draws on the image of drone bees—workers that labor mechanically for the hive without individual distinction.
It carries a mildly disparaging tone, suggesting people trapped in soul-deadening jobs or lacking ambition.
The office drones filed in at nine and stared at their screens until five.
