Five Most Loathsome Drawbacks of Working for Others
The vast majority of those currently earning a living are doing so at the pleasure of someone else. A boss supervising their every move and apportioning assignments, doling out raises and promotions, and sometimes withholding them for reasons unknown, the main lure of this kind of work is the steady paycheck. As a matter of fact, small home base business entrepreneurs and those currently employed in the corporate world agree: the steady paycheck is the one perk that simply cannot be praised more highly.
Yet in spite of the steady money, the five most loathsome drawbacks of working for others have driven many an entrepreneurial minded individual away from the security of steady money and instead have inspired them to go it on their own. Will you follow suit?
1. The first drawback is the money itself. While the pay is steady, it is also limited and in some cases a person’s contribution to the business will make vast amounts of money for the owner or manager while the employee will still only receive a predetermined salary. This inherent lack of fairness has caused more than one worker to ply their trade by themselves – quite often with amazing results!
2. Next is the lack of time off. While most corporate jobs offer sick time and vacation time, some are rather stingy with these days and it is not unheard of for workers to not qualify for two weeks of vacation time until and unless they have been with a company for at least five years. Working for yourself will allow you to set your own vacation time, depending on your ability to get away from the business.
3. Personal satisfaction is a big factor for those who feel like little more than a small cog in a big machine. By and large those with an entrepreneurial spirit have the urge to make their mark on the world and considering that many large corporations discourage independence and rely on uniformity in execution of tasks and even décor - this greatly diminishes the personal satisfaction derived from the job.
4. A lack of personal control over the workday, the quality of the product, the customer service that is provided, and also which aspects of the job are important and which are being blown way out of proportion. The latter is usually due to a supervisor or manager desperate to make a mark on their own world and by choosing an aspect and micro managing it with the employees this becomes a crusade that many find hard to deal with.
5. Failure to have the flexibility of choosing working hours most conducive. This is usually a big deal for parents but also for artists who may have inspiration and drive at different hours of the day or night. Parents need time off for parent-teacher conferences, school plays or simply to visit junior at school and have lunch together. This cannot be accommodated with the average working schedule and many a parent is frustrated when the school calendar comes home and events that will be attended need to be cherry picked in the hopes of at least making it to some of them.
