You, the bourgeoisie may think someone is working for you, but you may just be the proletariat who is indeed working for them. Asking this worker to do a vast amount of task for you, and out of the eighth task that you have given they have only accomplished two. A worker is a person who achieves a certain thing. The bourgeoisie gives them a specific task, and it is expected of the proletariat to get the job done.
However, in certain circumstances, these roles do tend to switch causing an exchange of power. In the story Greenleaf Mrs. May was the bourgeoisie/ boss, while Mr. Greenleaf was the proletariat/ worker. There were plenty times in the story where Mrs. May gave Mr. Greenleaf tasks to tend to, and he did not tend to them at all. There were also times where the things in his job description that were supposed to get done, did not get done at all.

As stated on page 314, “Scofield was the business type and Wesley was an intellectual (O’Connor, 314).” Wesley was an insurance salesman, but not just any type of insurance salesman. Wesley sold the kind of insurance that only Negroes buy. This was something that was shunned upon back in that
