0 someone who always obeys all the rules of their job even when they cause problems for other people or when the rules are silly --
We all know what it means to run into a jobsworth.
In the past, there has been inconsistency between regulators and, on some occasions, the regulatory framework has fostered a jobsworth attitude.
I cannot understand how we can tolerate such jobsworth bureaucracy when dealing with a crisis.
There is no doubt that red tape and a jobsworth attitude are sometimes involved.
All too often, we encounter what is almost a jobsworth attitude.
