middlecrat

A mid-level bureaucrat. A bureaucrat in middle-management that has no purpose other than to be told what to do and tell others what to do without adding value apparent to anyone but themselves. See also middleocracy, littlecrat, bigcrat.

Coined by an anonymous career civil servant of the U.S. Federal Government.
"My ability to get anything done was stymied by the 'concerns' of middlecrats who needed to sign off on the project."

"Can you believe that littlecrat was using my laptop as a footrest under their desk for 6 weeks because I didn't give them a Starbucks gift card for doing their job?"

"The only way to shrink the middleocracy is to promote a useless middlecrat into a bigcrat."
