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
The interpretation sounds correct to me. I would merely suggest "impiegato"as an alternative to "lavoratore".

Note from asker:
| I guess that's correct, even if in italian 'impiegato' sounds more like a person that works in an office |
| how does it sound 'dipendente' for employee? |
| I didn't read pataflo's note. |
