a 'company man' devoid of any entreprenurial spark who prefers the 'punching a time-clock' approach to work over taking any ownership

A great scene in True Detective is when Kohle calls out the two Detectives as 'a couple of company' men unable to think for themselves. He sees them as textbook nontrepreneurs.
