I mean, its voluntary as i submit to it and even value it. There is too much work for one person to handle, so having a boss who sets priorities, and them having a boss who works at negotiating contracts and dealings to align his business segment to grow and fit inside his bosses view for the whole company so thousands of us can remain employed. Yea i dont want those roles and responsibilities (nor do I have that skillset) and i volunteer to be in this heirarchy
