Being responsible for a company is categorically different from being an employee at a company, even if that employee is very hard-working.

Yes, it is the difference between being a parent and being a babysitter.

Both are responsible for the health and welfare of one or more children, but the babysitter eventually gets to go home and be "off the clock".

Problem is, many small companies seem to think that the equivalent of calling up the babysitter at 2am to deal with a vomiting child is acceptable.
