So you are putting forth the idea that all forms of personal service require sacrificing dignity? What does equality even mean with respect to one's work role?

Well yes. Following orders is always a sacrifice of dignity, even when we make it a small, subtle one.

That you can give input and have as much voice in the group's direction as anyone else.

Maybe the problem is that both 'following orders' and 'dignity' (and perhaps even 'sacrifice') are ill-defined, but I can name countless examples from my life, as well as from a cursory look at the life of friends of mine, where 'following orders' provided joy and satifsaction and where it didn't affect my (sense of) dignity. Especially in small, subtle cases.
