Jul 27, 2015 at 8:10 comment added Sven Yargs I think a very suitable word is apparatchik, a loan-word from Russian that has as its figurative meaning (according to Merriam-Webster's Eleventh Collegiate Dictionary) "a blindly devoted official, follower, or member of an organization (as a corporation or political party).""

Jul 26, 2015 at 13:45 comment added gatherer818 @Gaurav I really like Jobsworth and really needed this word right now, thank you. I clicked the question thinking I'd find something close enough to what I was looking for and in your comment found the perfect word. :D

Jul 25, 2015 at 22:37 comment added Gaurav This isn't quite the word you're looking for, but if you're looking for someone who is deliberately obtrusive by following their instructions to the letter, you're looking for a jobsworth: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jobsworth
