The superior one in a company that is only allowed to do certain things, because:
A. The employees are too stupid to do them
or
B. The employees aren't qualified to do them.
or
C. He just wants to show everyone how smart and great he is (whether or not he indeed really is).
Kind of like a relationship where "only daddy is allowed to touch the knives" to a 3 year old.

Customer: I want to buy that bottle of crown royale
Clerk: Ok!

Clerk: Oh, so we have to wait for daddy manager to come approve the sale?!?! Bullshit!

A dark art of being able to survive while being held responsible for issues and situations outside of your control by members of the public and by those who outrank you. Often used as the cause of and solution to all of the problems of unreasonable people. Long term exposure often leads to a lack of empathy, high tolerance to pain, apathy, institutionalisation and a lack of self care. In extreme cases can lead to the illusion of job security and belief in corporate policies.

A manager who exploits employees. Examples of exploitation include but are not limited to: Minimum wage violations, Overtime pay violations, Misclassification of workers, Unpaid “Off the clock” work, Employee payroll debit card fees, Improper recordkeeping, Tip-sharing and tip-pooling violations, Uncompensated meal breaks, Unreimbursed mileage and expenses, Failure to pay for time spent donning and doffing gear and equipment, or generally not providing benefits discussed during your hiring negotiations, or listed on your job description. He/she may blame cooperate or owners, but the daily operations are their decisions.
She keeps us on skeleton crew, so we do two peoples workload and doesn't even care if we can't provide good customer service. it's like she thinks she'll get a trophy for slum manager of the year or something!

when a guy maintains and manages a relationship with a girl through texting/social networking in order to keep her on good terms in case he wants to hangout/hookup again. This is usually done by periodical text messages that are short and somewhat flirty. Can also be done by photo likes on instagram, favorites on twitter, etc.
After she met him at a party, he periodically texted her, however never tried to move things forward. She never knew he was simply e-manage-ing her.
