ORIGINAL: Gunshow I embrace political incorrectness myself, and the lowly worm trope is indeed unappealing and outdated, a cliche even. I agree that 'inferior' and 'superior' while they strictly indicate a ranking also connote an inherent merit or quality level, which may or may not be justified. At the same time,a person equating themselves as inferior to one they see in a leadership role may simply be exhibiting a desire to fit into a hierarchy with a regimented division of labor. Perhaps they lack self discipline-so they feel they will gain more focus from an authority figure, who holds them accountable with a system of rewards and rather unpleasant punishments for screwing up. In turn,having the more mundane tasks undertaken by by the person under control frees the boss up to do other tasks they are more competent to do. Some might like to think of this sort of arrangement as being co dependent. I tend to think of it as interdependent. Something we all do to some extent.
