What do you call a person that only do the minimum to get through day-to-day basis?

I'm trying to find a word or a short phrase that target such person. Like someone who has no passion, no drive and only does whatever needed to survive.


Solution 1:

Consider

  • goldbrick: a person who shirks assigned work
  • shirker: a person who avoids work
  • clock-watcher: An employee who is overly strict or zealous about not working more than the required hours
  • sluggard: a person who is habitually indolent
  • goof-off: A person who is habitually lazy or does less than their fair share of work.

Solution 2:

I would term that person a slacker.

Basically only one level more active than the mummified remains of Tutankhamun.
