A person who is said to be at the bottom of the totem pole is someone unimportant or
who occupies a lowly position in an organization. (A totem pole is a post
carved and painted
with a series of family
or clan crests or with figures representing
mythic beings and
erected usually before
a dwelling, as among certain Native American
peoples of the northwest
coast of North America.)
“He’s
been with the company for many years yet
he’s still at the bottom of the totem pole.”
