A sycophant, apple-polisher, or brown-noser who agrees with everything the boss says and laughs at every joke. In Colombia and Venezuela, the 'patero' (from 'pata,' leg — always kissing them) is the office character everyone recognizes and nobody respects.
"That suck-up laughs at every joke the manager makes, even unfunny ones."
"Don't be a yes-man — say what you actually think."
