do you have one where you work? are YOU the yes-man? what's the general consensus here because i've always felt it's pretty bad to be or work with a yes-man.

No I am not a yes man but have worked with 1 before, they weren't the flamboyant kind of yes men, he was funny and liked sports and didnt talk with flappy hands and wrist, my experience was good

No, a yes-man is someone who regularly bows to authority.

If my superior at works asks me to do something within reason, I do it.  However, I am highly thought of at work and not micromanaged so I really only have to answer to myself (and the data that shows if my kids are making growth).

Side note: I work with a bunch of women who are perpetually no-men. They see every request from administration as an affront to them. It is seriously annoying.

I don't see yes men as simply those who do what they're asked by authority. A yes man is someone who will always agree with the boss for the sake of being on their good side even if telling them what they want to hear is not the truth.

I do what my boss asks me to do, but am definitely not a yes man. A yes man is someone who when the boss has an idea always tells him that it's the best idea even if it isn't. If my boss comes to me with an idea that sucks, I'll explain to him why it sucks.

That's not relevant to what a yes man is. A yes man won't ever disagree with the boss.

A person isn't a yes man just because they do what the boss says. It's about always agreeing for the sake of earning favor.

Im the same way, but it helps when there is poor leadership and i see loop holes in their logic.
