Carpet Walker

A derogatory term used for office workers that work in a production or warehouse environment. This includes engineers, sales people and any sort of middle management who spend most of the day on the computer. They are typically detached from the production/shipping process, lack knowledge of the time needed to complete projects and are notorious for making promises to customers that they don't have to keep. The term comes from the floor they spend most of their time on, usually being a carpeted office as apposed to the cold, hard concrete of the warehouse floor.
