An intern, but their supervisors call them a "protege" whom they "mentor". Despite being called a protege, they mainly still get grunt work and office slave labor.
Intern: Here are your 3000 photocopies, sir.
Boss: Oh thank you.
*intern leaves*
Boss proudly says to friend: That's my "protege".
Friend: More like your "proteslave".
