Ok. Am I supposed to feel bad now?

It’s fine if you’re neighbor makes more than me. I bet I have other neighbors that make more than me too.

I bet your neighbor didn’t just decide to own a landscaping business and went straight to his 3 hour days with 8 crews.

Guess what- I worked for myself for 7 years. I had some good times.

I like my “corporate slave” job better. I work when I want and where I want. It doesn’t even have to be 40hrs.

I don’t really deal with customers or deadlines, or making sure other people do their job.

I’m not worried about layoffs. And I’m not wishing for one so I can escape. My boss is the shit. The people high up know me by reputation. They don’t want to lose me. They know I could easily be working for a competitor.

So, what else is wrong with me preferring an employer over working for myself?
