What is your favorite slang term for office workers?
My brother just said "corporate cadavers," which was new to me.

I tend to call them "dilberts," "cube slave," or "dickless cube weasels."


got any better ones?

6. I sometimes think of them as "Zerg"...
subject to the whims of the Overmind...(you'll have to have played Starcraft to get this one).

And drones, which I imagine will be a popular answer.

11. Lucky.
Bust your ass for 12+ hours trying to help people who don't know what they want and who think that you were born to serve them because you work in retail and they don't. Come home barely able to move and pass out on the couch because you can't manage to get up the stairs. All for a snugly $7/hr (if you're lucky!). Yeah, I can't wait for my office job.

17. that's good, but it gives them a kind of grubby coolness
ones that emphasize their neuteredness are more accurate.

20. Stupid idiots.
If I was a coroporate CEO who noticed 6 times the adult populace in other countries who'll work for 1/15th the wage of a comparable US worker...
