officemate
Shared workspace companion
An officemate is someone who shares an office with you—a colleague whose workspace is in the same room.
The term implies proximity rather than close collaboration: My officemate and I have completely different schedules.
Unlike roommate, officemate suggests a professional rather than domestic arrangement.
