I don't work for myself but my hard work has paid off in the form of raises, promotions, larger bonuses, and more job security than my peers.
Of course a business will replace me if I do badly enough or they stop having enough money to pay me. And if it has an exit my gain from it will be less than the people above me. But those are all rare events. After 20 years I've never been fired or laid off. I've done well and it feels like it makes sense to acknowledge that my efforts have paid off rather than complain about being a victim of an unfair system.
- Overtonwindow 10y agoForgive me, I hear you and agree with a lot of what you say, but I do not trust corporations. I think they will replace you to save the job of your superior, to reduce costs, or increase profits. You are fortunate, and I hope it continues for you, but caution to never get comfortable.
