Start your own business.

• Joel_Mckay 2y ago
  This is the best advice, and the logical choice if you want to run things in your own way. One could fight the inertia of a large firm, or simply create an entity that better aligns with your own values and customer needs. A tax strategy driven small business teaches people how to manage projects, and see the stupid manager/worker BS for what it is... no PMP or Phd required... =3

    Can you elaborate? What is a tax strategy driven small business?
    • Joel_Mckay 2y ago
      Essentially, one mitigates the financial risks through tax credits, grants, and labor subsidy programs. i.e. the initial cash burn is money you would have paid in taxes anyway, or simply not purely your own capital. YMMV depending where you live, and your groups financial situation. You would be mistaken if you think only "small" firms operate this way... =)

  Then you have to suck up to clients/customers. And they're often way more demanding and irrational than managers in a company.

    The ex-servicemen I hired used to bug me about taking customer abuse in meetings... I pointed out we bill by the hour, and if someone wants to sit there irrationally ranting at people to work though their solution... so be it... lol =3

    At least there's N instead of 1 of them, so any given asshole's relative importance is only 1/N to keeping your "job"
