I don't have a "boss", and I never have had one. Why would I ever allow someone else to tell me what to do? That seems like a ridiculous abandonment of power. I respect people for their humanity, not someone who has a man-made "title". Hierarchical structures are quickly disappearing, anyway, as we shed what's left of this old style economy - but that's outside the scope of this forum.
The mind boggles at the 12-dimensional chess match that must be going-on behind the scenes now in the NFL re: Goodhell and his future.http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...ive-in-the-short-term-not-over-the-long-haul/
Goodell may survive in the short term, not over the long haul

The league office typically doesn’t issue pink slips in the wake of controversy. Instead, the NFL usually waits for the issue to subside, and then the person deemed responsible for the problem quietly takes another job, either with an NFL team or as the A.D. at a Pac-12 school.
As it turns out, that same thing could happen to Commissioner Roger Goodell, even if his eventual departure would hardly be quiet.
Peter King of TheMMQB.com explains that at least one owner believes that Goodell could survive over the short term, but that lingering harm to the brand and/or public discontent could result in Goodell leaving at some point down the road.
Eventually, he may want to go — especially if he’s pushed to give up some of the extreme power he currently enjoys over matters of player discipline. Per King, some owners believe Goodell spends too much time on discipline. There’s also a belief he plays favorites when it comes to meting out punishment; it could be argued that the Ravens received an ill-advised favor on Ray Rice and that the Saints were unduly hammered two years ago in the bounty scandal.
Before any of that becomes relevant, Goodell must survive the aftermath of the Robert Mueller report and the ensuing Ray Rice appeal hearing, which likely will feature testimony from the Commissioner.
So while the focus for most football fans and those covering the sport have returned to the game, important issues linger regarding the man who runs pro football. Those issues could still bring him down.
It's wonderful that you're your own boss but that really has nothing to do with this incident. Simmons isn't wearing your shoes is he? Plus, your statement is incorrect. You allow those in authority to tell you what to do all the time. The police, the courts, the ROD mods and all the different divisions of the government such as the IRS. Not to mention your wife.
Doing what your boss asks is a ridiculous abandonment of power? No, it's you doing what you promised in the bargain you made when accepting employment. You agreed to do what your boss wants and he agreed to compensate you for keeping your end of the bargain. Feel free to dare the IRS to tell you what you have to pay in taxes because I'd like them concentrating on you instead of me. :fighting: Not that I'm worried about the IRS.
Yup, you're right. I guess that's why I never accepted that bargain.It's wonderful that you're your own boss but that really has nothing to do with this incident.
