But I disagree with your corporate branding take on your boss calling you L.<br /><br />My last boss and I called each other 'L' and 'A' but it made me feel the opposite of a subservient spy - it made me feel like I had entered a highly desirable and elusive relationship with my boss - friends. Of course a big difference is that this boss was female, and someone I respected immensely. I craved her friendship and attention and felt that calling me 'A' (she called no one else by their first letter, as far a I knew), not only meant that I had won it, but I had developed a relationship far more intimate and special than her other employees.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04890100007841307541noreply@blogger.com
