staffers
People on payroll
Staffers are the people who work for an organization, especially in support roles rather than leadership positions.
The term appears most often in journalism and political contexts: White House staffers briefed reporters on the new policy.
It carries a slightly informal tone compared to staff members or employees, and implies people who are part of a larger team rather than independent operators.
