6 Reasons Why Working for the "Man" Sucks

If you have a regular job like most people do you know what I know… working for “the man” absolutely sucks! There is nothing like owning your own business and being your own boss and once you know just how great it is you’ll never go back to corporate America. However, for those of you who haven’t experienced the true bliss of being boss free here are a few reasons why working for “the man” or any man sucks!

6. Would you like some bread with that traffic jam

Long commutes are one of the worst things about having a job. When you work from home your commute is from the bed to the chair!

5. Paycheck… what paycheck?

When you have a job they can pay you whatever they want to pay you. Whether it’s what you’re really worth or not. When you work for yourself you can decide to make more or less. Want a raise? Just give yourself one!

4. Two words…. Dress code

Showing up to work in your pajama pants is probably not an option at your job. When you work from home ever day is casual Friday. VERY casual Friday.

3. Office politics

If you’re like me you’re not about sucking up to the boss to get ahead however in many work places that’s exactly what you have to do to become successful. If you’ve ever been passed over for a promotion you know you deserved you know just how annoying office politics can be!

2. No job is safe

As much as your boss will probably tell you that you’re a valuable assent to the company the truth is that you could literally lose your job at any time. Many people go into fields that they believe will help them have more job security but at the end of the day when you work for someone else you can never be 100% sure that your job is safe… ever!

And the number one reason why working for “the man” sucks is…

1. Your time isn’t your time!

When you have a job they own every single part of you but especially your time. Wouldn’t it be great to go to a movie in the middle of the day with your spouse? Or take a 3 week long vacation? Or just sleep in on a Wednesday?

When you work from home your time is truly your time and that’s something you’ll never be able to get when you work a job.

So that’s it! I hope you found this list enlightening. Working for yourself is the only way to go. I can’t wait to see you there!
