> I see it as a largely neutral descriptor that can skew slightly positive or negative based on context. Particularly "corporate drone" to me refers to an office worker with a long term stable job at a megacorporation. Such a category can easily carry either a positive or negative connotation depending on the speaker.

That's a massive stretch, dude. And the scenario here is pretty clearly one guy with a stable job at a megacorporation judging another guy at the same megacorporation .

Not a stretch. That's my genuine impression of the phrase.

His reply was quite judgmental but I don't think his original turn of phrase that you first objected to was.

Obviously I didn't feel the context made it clear or I wouldn't have written what I did.
