"government employee who doesn't do any work" its true but not fit as a dictionary meaning.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Editor: If you think that isn't fit, then what do you make of the following definition? :-)

官僚 ~ 拘泥于陋规琐则、条条框框或在本部门作威作福的政府官员
http://www.zdic.net/c/8/36/82325.htm

Some dictionaries give only the plural form "bureaucrats" but there are examples of singular usage.
E.g. 他被视为一个技术官僚,确实不具政治性。
"He is considered a technocrat and reliably non-political."
Diff:
- 官僚 官僚 [guan1 liao2] /official/bureaucrat/government employee who doesn't do any work/
# + 官僚 官僚 [guan1 liao2] /official/bureaucrat/bureaucratic/
+ 官僚 官僚 [guan1 liao2] /bureaucrat/bureaucracy/bureaucratic/
