Colleague
Workplace Specific
Use 'colleague' for someone you work with, primarily in professional or formal job settings.

I'm meeting my colleague to discuss the project after lunch.
Not Friendship
'Colleague' usually implies a working relationship, not necessarily a personal friendship.

Although she's my colleague, I don't know much about her personal life.
Same Level
A 'colleague' generally means someone at the same level or rank, rather than a superior or subordinate.

My colleague and I have similar tasks in the department.
