English term or phrase: a rank and file employee
io l'ho tradotto come "un lavoratore semplice", inteso senza compiti di responsabilità.
Il contesto: a person with a very responsible job may wish to "shed this" in his leisure hours, but a rank and file employee may seek enhanced personal status by leading others in a sports team or group leisure pursuit

un impiegato semplice


Explanation:

Notes to answerer
Asker: I guess that's correct, even if in italian 'impiegato' sounds more like a person that works in an office

Asker: how does it sound 'dipendente' for employee?

Asker: I didn't read pataflo's note.
