I've always been comfortable in my skin, but even more-so as I age. Some people are really uncomfortable working along side of higher ranking individuals, or even bosses in their civilian jobs. Do you get uncomfortable when someone that is much more important is working beside you? I've just accepted that I am just a cog on the wheel and we all are needed to make the wheel go 'round.
So, my question, are you comfortable working among Giants in your industry?
Or are you someone that prefers to work with their peers?

Heck yeah I do, I'm a fricking unicorn! They should bask in my awesomeness! LOL
In all seriousness, they put their pants on the same as I and are human. Why be afraid?

Some folks don't like the scrutiny, some don't like micro-management, some don't feel comfortable in their own skin, we have all met them. There are a few on RP...no names mentioned of course.

The best advice I have ever received while considering joining the Army was from my Uncle and mentor, COL Thomas A. Austin II, that "all men put theirs pants on one leg at a time". We are all human and relationships and working next to each other is what it is about. Toxic leaders are where the uncomfortable come in, but frankly no one should be scared of a giant.

There are gentle giants, and then the not-so-gentle...and even the narcissistic types...and many other categories as well.

If they out rank me they generally can not take me in a fight, and if they can take me in a fight then I usually out rank them. What is to fear?
I actually love to be around the giants in the industry, it is an opportunity to learn and to get exposure for myself to grow my abilities and knowledge. It is a great opportunity and one I hope to keep being afforded.
