Carol: Here's an itemized list of what we need to move this project forward. I've already contacted the suppliers for quotes, and checked into applicable taxes that would change the final pricing. It all fits into budget. Any questions, team?
Employee#1: Good on ya, boss!
Employee#2: That's very neural of you. Part of why I like working here.

henchling 

n. A combination of "henchman" and "hireling." Intended to be gender-neutral and not necessarily derogatory. A henchling is usually distinguished from a minion by having some degree of free will, and from a henchman or henchwoman by not necessarily being aligned to evil (which the latter typically are).

Dilbert is a henchling of the pointy-haired boss. Though the boss is evil and treats Dilbert as a minion, Dilbert has free will and is not evil himself.
