Stick man (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

3

5

staff

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'stick' is the first definition.
(I know that staff is a type of stick)

'man' is the second definition.
(both can mean to work at a particular post)

(Other definitions for staff that I've seen before include "Group employed in services etc" , "Post - office workers" , "Rod of authority" , "Employees; weapon" , "teachers employed in school" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Times.
