In the corporate workspace, I called them brownnosers.
Very direct! This is why I am a contractor, as I can move on to the next gig, there's no getting ahead as 'there is NO ahead'. I can't stand the shit and my next move is to not work at all. That bit is still work in progress,
I have a pretty cool gig these days myself. Work when I have time. Get to drive big machines around. Get to take shit apart and put it back together. Then I just wander around if the weather's nice. Not a soul for miles. LOL!
Sounds good to me, @revisesociology has the right idea.. escape the corporate trap forever! I do envy him to some extent.
