corporate rower

Describes the average corporate employee who is chained to an oar (desk) and rows to the corporate drum beat. Similar metaphorically to Charlton Heston (#41) in Ben Hur when he was chained to an oar below the deck of a galley and the manager is pounding the drum with the CEO commanding the speed.

Look at Bob he's a real corporate rower. Ramming speed #41!
