I'm looking for a word...

[courtg9000]

I am after a single word to describe an overpaid underworked workshy public servant.
Can anyone help?
PS: "A Boris" has been deemed unsuitable as has a Hancock, Gove, Patel, Raab and other similar!

You assume right.
I need to describe an individual employee.

Does it have to be a single word?

Shame we don't do compound nouns like the Germans do

[malvolio]

How about "An Appleby"?

"He should carry a plant to replace the air he is wasting"

"I'm not saying he's the dumbest person in the world, just that he better hopes they don't die"


"I am jealous of your employee's ability to be overpaid, underworked, incompetent and workshy. While I'm sure his local village has appointed a new idiot, I have to admire his skills in tricking you into giving him money for nothing, and as such he is my new role-model."
