Colleague Zone

Similar to the Friend Zone, except in a platonic work environment .

That person you talk to in the office but have no aspirations to be friends with outside of work hours.

To clarify this is one step below the Friend Zone
In the office at closing time on a Friday

Fred: So what are you doing this weekend?
Jane: ah, you know just meeting up with my friends and doing other cool stuff with my friends.. so ya I will see you on Monday.. at work.

m'colleague

Sort of a lovely nickname used between British actor/writer Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie
Can be abbreviated as "m'coll"
And you can use the word "y'coll" when refering one of them to the other(as the short form of "your colleague", obviously)
"M'colleague has noticed that, besides the usual court circular of saints, battles, dance craze etc, today is the 30th anniversary of Jeeves and Wooster. I wish him, and anyone who enjoyed it half as much as we did, tinkerty tonk." ——Hugh Laurie on Twitter, 4/23/2020

Frolleague

Someone who is both a colleague and a friend. There is a thin line between a friend and a colleague - for example you would go and have some ice cream with your frolleague during office hours, but you would not go out to a club with her to do the dirty wine
I was at work yesterday and my frolleague asked me to go down to 7-11 for some ice cream. I said ‘yes’

colleague fatigue

That feeling when you're sick and tired of a coworker, often accompanied by the vain hope that they get a job somewhere else and leave.
After that shitty email from Alex earlier, I'm feeling a lot of colleague fatigue this afternoon.
