That is not a level of power I officially possess, but it is a level of power that I am able to unofficially implement for the people who solely report to me.

Both manager and non-managers are economically coerced into providing our time and energy. I try my best to reduce that burden for as many people as I can without being noticed by the people who are willing to suck the life out of others for personal gain.
