Desk Jockeys are Cogs that were added in the Hires & Heroes Update. They can be found in the Toontorial with no labelled department and in the battle against the Prethinker as "Brianbots".
When used, the Desk Jockey will summon more Desk Jockeys.
In the Toontorial, this cheat will first summon a single Level 1 Desk Jockey and will summon three Level 2 Desk Jockeys on its second use.
In the Prethinker fight, this cheat is handled by a Level 8.exe Desk Jockey. It will always use this cheat to summon levels 3-6 Desk Jockeys whenever there is space left for them to occupy.

Trivia
A desk jockey is an office worker who sits at a desk.
Desk Jockeys are the only Cogs without the Manager tag capable of using cheats.
The Desk Jockey is the only Cog with two different suit patterns. Their upper body uses the Bossbot's stripe pattern, while their legs use the Lawbot's clear tuxedo pattern.
In the Partner QA Server for v1.3.0, the Toontorial Desk Jockey was a Level 10 instead of a Level 9.
This is likely due to Joybuzzer's damage being nerfed in the transition from QA to 1.3.
Up until the third Partner QA Session for v1.3.0, Desk Jockeys wore neckties rather than bowties.
Originally, Tutorial Tom was planned to be the one controlling the Desk Jockeys in the Toontorial from a computer.
The Desk Jockeys went through several different designs before their release such as a cardboard cutout of a Cog and a scarecrow-esque Flunky.
