I personally find the customer / supplier relationship much more sane than the employer / employee. There’s a contract, you negociate a fee according to a skill and the market, and it’s for a given duration. No emotion involved, no « my boss don’t like me », or « i feel i have to do this if i want that promotion ». No politics either. It’s just 100% focused on the job.

Now i live in a country where work is both heavily regulated, and with a very high unemployment rate, so maybe it’s different elsewhere.
