Thread: office plankton

I can think of a "cushy job" but that basically implies a well paid management level job with little work or responsibility.

I'm also interested in finding an English equivalent. The word "plankton" is used to denote the entry-level office job holders who are at the very bottom of the office 'food chain'.

Croc, thanks for explaining that as I could not make the jump to light speed on that one. The only thing I can think of is like a "gopher" but that is more of a person who goes and gets things and then waits around for another task. However, they can be very busy with everyone asking them to do things for them... but they are the bottom of the food chain.
