What is another word for gray men?
Pronunciation: [ɡɹˈe͡ɪ mˈɛn] (IPA) 
The term 'gray men' refers to faceless bureaucrats who work in government, corporate or military organizations. They are typically seen as being drab, unremarkable and lacking in personality. There are several synonyms that can be used to describe these people, including 'functionaries', 'paper pushers', 'pencil pushers', 'bean counters', 'desk jockeys', 'bureaucrats', and 'suits'. These terms are often used pejoratively, as they connote a certain level of unoriginality and conformity. Alternatively, some people might describe these individuals as 'civil servants', 'government employees' or simply 'white collar workers'. These terms have less negative connotations and are more focused on the individual's role rather than their lack of individuality.
