I am not a mind reader dang. Just trying to offer some perspective in a way that is received rather than TL;DRed. When people are under you, or depend on you for a recommendation or a grade, you could come into work one day and say, "From this day forward, I am Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise.", and this would be met with a chorus of "Aye aye, captain!" After the power relationship is dissolved, then the mileage may vary.
