I want to add to this.

The first day I ever made a dollar of my own, was when I was 18 and my friend invited me to help his dad paint houses. He taught me the basics of using a paint roller, paint pole, and paint tray. But on that same day he said "You walk the dog, you don't let the dog walk you".

There are many applications of this phrase. Not the least of which applies to actual dogs themselves. But the way he meant it was, you bring your container (pan, bucket) of paint along with you wherever you're working, rather than leaving it where it is and walking back and forth between the paint and the wall you're painting. It's less efficient and you drip drops all over the place. But "Walking The Dog" and "Letting The Dog Walk You" are valuable concepts in themselves.

I might have had one too many pre-mixed bottled cocktails by this point tonight, but can you grasp my meaning? It's the same when a supervisor lets an unruly subordinate dictate what can or can't be done. ""The Tail Wagging The Dog" is another relevant phrase. You have to treat your tools right, but only so your tools will serve you. Do you understand my meaning?

At the moment I'm actually not so concerned because, while the market has been tanking, I have been making career-gains
>property manager
>47k+~10k in bonuses
>less than a month now
>so far I'm excited by the work, got a promotion from Assistant-PM to Full-PM already, and this is after working maintenance for 5 years

I'm sure that eventually the work answering emails and compiling paperwork will become a slog. But after being a paint'n'drywall-monkey for my entire working life up to this point, seeing the other side of things (assigning vendors to WO's, instead of fulfilling them myself) is fascinating, and I don't have to get covered in construction-debris to make my buck. Mostly I'm just trying not to get fat.
