Yes man
Yes man is a pejorative term for a person who outwardly displays agreement with his superiors' opinions in order to gain power or prestige. Such behaviour is said to be common in role-oriented organizations where decision-making power or prestige is concentrated in the few.Yes men are popular stereotypes in depictions of corporate culture. The Dilbert comic strip, for example, regularly features such characters. Other examples include Waylon Smithers, from the animated series The Simpsons, and Dwight Schrute and Andy Bernard from the US version of the TV series The Office. The upcoming film Yes Man, starring Jim Carrey, is about a man who decides to change his life by agreeing to everything.
