  • That is true but I feel it’s still uneven. Assuming I want to be there, if I mess up they can just not invite me back.
    Those who set the rules (what ‘messing up’ even is) are still in a position of power over me in that sense - I can’t get them fired (those positions are paid) the same way they can just dismiss me.
    I am of course perfectly fine with this, and am not seeking to move up in the hierarchy. (But it is possible to do so.)

    Also you know literal volunteering, like for a charity.

    I volunteer at a non-profit on weekends, and that places me in a position of extremely little power, way below the board of directors and the executive director and I’m choosing to be there.

    I really just don’t get the original statement, not sure what it’s trying to say.

    For the lazy:

    “A source of confusion is that ‘citron’ in French and English are false friends, as the French word ‘citron’ refers to what in English is a lemon; whereas the French word for the citron is ‘cédrat’.

    Other languages that use variants of citron to refer to the lemon include Armenian, Czech, Dutch, Finnish, German, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Hungarian, Esperanto, Polish and the Scandinavian languages.[citation needed]”
