You aren't Albert Einstein. He could set his own rules, because he earned it.

You are a resorurce. The sooner you realize this, the easier it becomes to negotiate your worth.

I was initially going to type something along the lines of not speaking for others, but then realized that it comes down to projecting your own sense of self-worth. (Yes, projecting without having anything to back it up with is asinine.) In my career there had been a staggering amount of unique hard to replace individuals that simply did not know how to project themselves as valuable - no one realized their importance until they had been managed out, and honestly there was no one else to blame but the folks themselves.

You are pissed off at basic human nature (Create groups, status for self, promote others with ceremony, create structure, address by role).

Moreover, you generally become an individual in a company when you prove your worth.
