Salaryman is a term used to describe a male office worker who follows a typical corporate lifestyle in Japan. However, there are several synonyms for this term that can be used to describe similar types of professionals in other parts of the world. Some of these include corporate executive, white-collar worker, office drone, businessperson, office manager, and desk jockey. In other countries, a similar type of worker may be referred to as a nine-to-fiver, a cubicle slave, or a pencil pusher. Regardless of the term used, these individuals often work in an office environment and have a salary-based income that reflects their status as a professional worker.
