Is my manager my peer?
@Acer
Are you in Capitalism as the default context or the more Utopian side of spectrum? I think is the question :)
If Capitalism then probably not
- don't let the bastards fool you! :)
Their position is contractually clear although some may be more 'fair' than others! :D
Basically managers are not a peer because a peer (which has many meanings) in this context is:
a person who is of equal standing with another in a group
So answer is: no
In a real company, I need to write a peer to peer compliment publicly to a person I appreciate.
@Acer Perhaps peer is not the right word (maybe I'd like to check with you).
Peer might not be used or suited for this context.
For example "co-worker" seems better for writing or categorising another person etc, not really peer (especially as a manager)
co-worker (just for another example) is
an associate that one works with.
