candidate will enjoy the busy environment if it pleases Employer

I'd love to sortate your mail, both outside and in Sir

Please do you have any other shit you require me to eat, Employer?

Uncle Sam can be one of the worst:
I want you to jump through this two foot hoop that's ten feet off the ground after a full 12 hour work shift at your equivelant of 9pm... ready set go! Aww you didn't make it!?! Bad wittle airman!

Yup, swear some of our higher ups are cruel sadists, not in a good way either.

funny

see the links to PIG website in the feminist thread for real "employer dom".

That's...interesting? I usually do whatever I want wherever I am employed. I'm not saying that I make my bosses my bitches, but I could say that I never allow them to treat me as anything less than an equal.












Ok, sometimes I do make my bosses my bitches, but what else is a Dom to do?

Mazel Tov, Johnny, the reality for most people is "out of what window would you like me to jump?"

Respectful environment that encourages workplace diversity my ass.

All of that is a crock of shit, basically. I managed to make it through the Marines without being anyone's bitch, and they had the option of throwing me in jail for being insubordinate. I don't think some middle-management flunky is going to ever be able to intimidate me with a write-up, do you?

Basically, my strategy is to set them straight up front. I tell my bosses flat-out that my boss is the job, I work to serve the requirements of that job, and so long as they stay out of my way and let me do the fucking job, there will be no problems.

I admire that attitude, but it's not for everyone all the time. If you come across an arrogant shit of a boss, you either bite the bullet or get sacked. Not everyone can be on that level.

If you fucked off every job ad that required you to 'enjoy wiping surfaces to a high standard' or some crap, you'd be looking a long time.

 

[Netzach]

It's not an issue of being intimidated by a writeup it's an issue of needing a check badly enough to tolerate bullshit.

I would love to lay down the law like that in the workplace. I wouldn't have made it through the door had I done so. It'd be great to be the corporate alpha and be in the position to do that. The only time I've had the privilege to tell anyone to fuck off has been when working for myself, and it's not to your advantage as the vendor/service provider to refuse to lick a few asses on your way, either.

I'm disagreeing with you on this one. I'm "alpha" by temperment, and I demand to be treated as such. I've never been very high on the company food chain, but I have always had a handy way of disarming the company bullies. It is a combination of high competence, being smarter than everyone else, always presenting yourself as being completely in control, doing things without asking permission and only allowing people to know about it after you are done...and a military term abreviated as "UNODIR".

"Unless otherwise directed", I will always do what I think is best. The trick is to strategically ensure that no one has opportunity to direct you otherwise. After awhile, I've found that people get used to you doing things your way, and so long as you deliver they'll never question you.

I'm feeling nostalgic for my Marine days...as a junior enlisted Marine, I had something like 100,000 people technically in charge of me. However, somethingt I learned then has served me well up until now, and I see no reason why it won't continue. People who are used to following directions will follow the directions of anyone who acts like he is in charge.

For instance, my very first day at my first(and only) unit, I had to check in with admin. There were 3 guys already in line waiting for someone to do their paperwork, and they were just sitting there looking lost and scared. I walked up to the counter, waved over the first person I made eye contact with, and said "hey, bud, who do I have to kill to get my paperwork done?" He motioned me behind the counter, walked me around to each person I had to check in with, and then invited me over for beers after work. The funny part is that he outranked me, and at any time could have told me for fuck off and wait in line. Instead, he walked me around as though I outranked him, and later that day we had a laugh over the fact that he assumed that I had been in at least as long as him and had lost my rank at some point, so he treated me as an equal.

The same thing has usually applied to me; within a few hours or days, people automatically treat me as though I am at least their equal.

Curiously enough; it's these same skills that lead to success in the arts of domination.

Nothing curious about it...to me the curious part would be a dominant person allowing their boss to figuratively ass-rape them on a regular basis. I'm absolutely not saying that you can tell your boss to fuck off and take a 5 hour lunch...at least not every day. I'm just saying that you can present yourself in such a way that people will generally not even try to fuck with you too badly.

 

[Johnny Mayberry]

Oh, and let me be fair...I'm 29, no kids, and my bills equal about $550 a month. I live well within my means, and my biggest goals as far as stuff is to get a new guitar amplifier. This means that I am not as tied to a job as someone who has kids, car payments, a mortgage, etc. The fear of losing my job isn't strong enough to be used as a lever against me, and in a way I avoid financial commitments for that reason(among others).

I absolutely adore a dominant employer!

Not a bully, not an asshole... but a leader, usually the owner - male or female doesn't matter. Wouldn't want that position myself, and allows me to have only one boss throughout the company - fairly decent autonomy and just the right level of control for me handed down. Ass-kissing is not a big strength, but through competence and the push to be useful and used to the best of my abilities... and the desire to have as few control me along the ladder as possible without being the ultimate leader. Alpha subbish.

But then I think I may be the only non-Dominant who has commented thus far.

Sounds fair enough to me...if someone besides me is going to be in charge, they had better be worthy of my respect. You mostly sound like me, except from a subbish POV. Groovy!

"In addition, employee will perform any other duties as discharged by his/her supervisor.'

Yep, they got me!

My job description translates into 60 percent administration, 40 percent front line work which equates to 80 percent admin and 45 percent front line work.

Yes! I did the math!

Don't you love when the powers that be place people in charge of you who won't take charge?
I'm one of those- you lead well and I'll follow but if you don't then I'll take charge because someone's got to. Nature abhores a vacume and so do I. (Really- I do. They're noisy and heavy)
Got to love the exercise "war time" scenario that the E3's running because the E4's are clueless. Stupidheads.

I don't have the desire to have anyone in my workplace (day gig!) follow my directions. Actually, I have no interest in having anyone follow my direction in any workplace outside the dungeon, and in that case I'm still beholden to their dumbass fetish of the week at times. I'm a creative loner by nature, it has nothing to do with submission or domination.

I just prefer that they leave me alone, it's an Ayn Randian desire to sidestep the idiots and let them self destruct or do whatever they need to. In this workplace, mock subordination seems to do the trick for being left alone.

Perhaps this helps me chill out more, considering that half my income is telling people what to do in increasingly elaborate more devious ways.

I can't say I *enjoy* sucking it up though.

And that is exactly how I ended up doing what I am doing.

Someone had to!

If you compete with slaves, you become a slave.

All this alpha business has got some truth to it, but I'd rather not live my life on some sort of prehistoric level.

I dunno whether 'alpha' people make better dominants. My worklife hasn't got anything to do with what I do in bed, it's just money for now. I don't really give a fuck whether I'm the 'top dog'.

Unless you're talking about 'natural dominants' . As it happens, my grandfather led an exhibition to the Andes in 1926 to investigate a sighting by a native of what was believed to the last surviving specimen of that that fabled elusive beast. Unfortunately, his party all perished, their ravaged corpses found days later by the guides coved in strange bites and whip like markings. My grandmother has never recovered.
