Well, personally, I absolutely hate being an employee. I have absolutely no respect for authority. I constantly question everything. I argue. It does not make me a good cog.
Employers in boring, put slot A into slot B jobs love me, because there's no power struggle. But anything where I have any sort of input though, and it all goes to hell.
I would be delighted if I could stand to work for other people; I would undoubtedly be much better off. But I am defective :).

- nkohari 16y agoPeople are born with different skills. While I sense some hyperbole in the previous comment, there's no reason to attack him. I'm also not a great team player -- I work very well in small teams, particularly when I'm in a leadership role, but I detest bureaucracy and fiefdoms, so I don't do well in larger organizations.
- jarek 16y agoI'm just saying -- I've yet to hear about an entrepreneur who didn't have to accept client feedback, didn't have struggles with clients who wanted a pet functionality, didn't have to work for other people, constantly argued with their customers, didn't have to accept that the one who gives you money has "authority" over you whether he goes by the title of "parent", "boss", "supervisor", "client", "eyeball", or "VC". Or one whose start-up made money, anyway. It's perfectly okay that some people work differently, but let's quit with the glorification of start-up experience as the boss-less free-for-all nirvana.
