shop goat

An employee who performs all the demeaning but no less important tasks at their place of employment. This person is usually young, obedient, and malleable. They are "yes" people who know where everything is, and posses a "lifer" like disposition. Their wage is considered overhead because when overly busy, they accomplish too many different types of tasks and jobs in one day to be categorized to any specific Work Order to be billed. A Shop Goat is usually dirty and sweaty from working hard. They are usually made from high school drop-outs or fatherless children. They are usually easily taken advantage of and will perform the lowest of tasks unrelated to The Company such as feeding the dog (in reference to their employers pets).

I'm not sure why Johnnie continues to put up with his job when they don't value Him, they just need a shop goat. His potential is pigeonholed!
