What is another word for timeservers?
Pronunciation: [tˈa͡ɪmsɜːvəz] (IPA) 
Timeservers are individuals who are often lazy and lack ambition, preferring to take the path of least resistance and conform to the norms and expectations of others, particularly those in positions of power. Some synonyms for timeservers include sycophants, yes-men, flatterers, toadies, lickspittles, brown-nosers, and apple-polishers. These terms all describe people who are willing to do whatever it takes to gain favor with those in positions of authority, even if it means sacrificing their own values and integrity. While timeservers may be convenient for those in power, they ultimately contribute to a culture of status quo rather than innovation and progress.
