Use when examining employment that claims the worker's identity: titles, personas, and reputations that stay with the house after the person leaves.

The manor does not merely employ the valet; it owns his designation and reissues it to the next unit. Identity itself is house property. When Charles is stripped of the name he becomes 'Undesignated Valet Unit' — the servant is interchangeable hardware with a branded label, and the brand outlives every servant.
