I ran my own construction company for several years. I used to joke that the janitor and the CEO got paid exactly the same, and that my boss was the hardest one I’d EVER had. But I was young. Later I found that bosses can be ever so much… incredibly much… harder than I was. Because I, at least, never asked more than was possible, nor did I make insane decisions, lay off the most productive (and best paid) worker or demand that I keep the kitchen clean. (Hmm. Maybe I did do that last. It’s actually kind of hard to tell).
I’ve missed out on the whole working from home thing, since most of my job requires that I actually be in the same building as the equipment that I’m minding. There are a number of us in that situation, and we don’t mind, most of the time. It’s nice not to spend all one’s time at home.
My boss, on the other hand, is able to do most of his administrative job from home, and actually comes in to work about once a week. The rest of us have been able to adjust.
The best part of working at home is that I can work safely at the office because most of my colleagues are working from home. I’m actually thankful to them for that.
Well, you could be a Senior. We former cost-benefit minded engineers, now being inundated by Medical Insurance Corporations, find it impossible to compare them on the benefit side, for my serial killer medications.

I don’t want Pig as a boss.

Pig’s language today is shocking! Doesn’t he know that it’s rude to call someone “lazy”?

I was self-employed. The pay was lousy, and the boss was a b*tch, but I did get to set my own hours.

I had a sign in my office that said: Warning! Does Not Play With Others.
For the most part that was true. I have always preferred to be my own boss or at least to work without someone hanging over my shoulder, stupidvising.

Life has taught me that the typical person who says, “I AM MY OWN BOSS!”, usually works for an idiot!

Self criticism can be difficult to deal with, that’s why most people never employ it.
