That was a statement our client told us after a meeting on a public holiday which was not observed by our current company, sooo we were working while most people are enjoying thier off day.😅
After the meeting ended we had some chat and at the end before leaving he told us to get the relevant experience and licenses and to open our own company.
He told us "haven't you heard? You can't be rich working for someone" and share with us that some of his friend open thier own company at age 45 and are doing very well.
Well, bosses especially local company, are more calculative and show less care and appreciation towards thier employees.
All the profits earned are majorly distributed to shareholders/owners first before any distribution of bonus to employees.
Some company even go to the extreme to only distribute bonus more than half year later after share of profit has been declared to shareholders. And basing on complex kpi scheme that only the bosses they themselves know if the calculation is right or wrong so you could never argue with them your entitlement. To me as long as i do my best, the company would know how i have performed and reward me accordingly.
An unfair working life right? No doubts return to shareholders is important but wellfare and interest of your employees is also equally important. If there is no employees you would not be able to run and expand your business too.
Would you be your own bos?
Thanks for stopping by.

Almost 5 years I'm my own boss
Becoming our own boss required taking few risks and patience

Well stated. Companies exist to make profit for the owners, they do not exist to create jobs or wealth for employees. It's not right or wrong, it just is. Once you come to this realization, you can decide whether or not you wish to exist within such a system. It's not always easy to escape, but hopefully ecosystems like STEEM will enable more of it going forward. When companies have to start competing with these alternatives, the pay for traditional jobs can only go up.
Very true, but some smaller companies really do care about their staff and pay what they are worth. Many larger companies do not and you are generally a number first (in my experience). I'm not a business owner, but I have several side hustles to make things better. Steem is of course one of them!
Wow truely inspiring. I usually go with the words of this man.
I'm really working hard today to completely attain financial independence. At the same time I'm really looking forward to be my own boss as well. I'm just waiting for the day to come.
