What the collective noun for clerks?

Answer 1

The standard collective nouns are:

• a school of clerks
• a rookery of clerks

Those collective nouns seem to refer to fish or birds. There is no standard collective noun for the type of clerks that work in an office or a store. A collective noun is an informal part of language, any noun that suits a situation can function as a collective noun, for example, an absence of clerks, a filing of clerks, a klatch of clerks, etc.
