    What's more stable? Working for yourself or a company?

    I tend to think working for myself...and I'll explain why.

    Working for myself I don't have to concern myself with the poltics in a company where it doesn't matter how well you perform you still may get fired.

    I had a supervisor when I was with Taco Bell who wanted me out of there for two reasons...#1 he felt I made too much money...#2 he didn't like the fact that I stood up to him on an issue to force kids to work on Thanksgiving.

    Even though I took that particular store from $12K a week to over $22K a week and was #1 in growth company wide for the entire year I was at that particular store. In the end he got fired I didn't...but I still left...LOL

    Also you don't have to worry about management who want to bonus that year and do so by firing 100's of staff to pay for that bonus while announcing how much money they saved the company.

    I also love the knowledge that I am no longer working to make someone else rich...hell I'm not making myself rich either at this point...LOL but if I'm going to spend 12-16 hours a day working for anyone it may as well be myself.

      You will never get rich as long as someone else signs the front of your check. That has been my philosophy. I will never work for an "employer" again. Like you said, no matter how well you perform, if the political shit is against you, then you will still get the pink slip.

          The way I see it is, when things get tight, who are the first to get cut, upper management/owners or employees? When you are the upper management, you control your future. An employee does not.

                              ive been working for myself since i was 16 and can safely say ill never, ever want to work for another person unless it was necessary but i don't think that will be the case. I like getting work on my own time and doing things the way i want them done.

                                  I do not miss company politics one bit. Or having to compete with the boss' son...or better yet when I was in the commercial/film industry my competition was graduates from the film schools of UCLA, USC, and AFI who would work for free just to get their foot in the door.

                                      I honestly think that we're meant to believe that working in a company is more stable...it's that old mentality that has been pounded into us for years.

                                      When I was a kid *I'm 38 now* people still believed that you should go to work for 1 company spend 25 years there, retire with a pension and gold watch...but things have changed.

                                      Companies don't want people in there with experience who demand a higher salary, better benefits when they can get 2-3 x's the employees with less salary and possibly zero benefits..so while it may be "stable" during your 30's and 40's..wait until you turn 50 a point where you quickly become expendable.

                                          Working for a big corporation with union is more stable .... but if you are smart enough to put money aside then working for yourself works too

                                                      Every time someone says "but my money is stable" I say my money may not be stable but it's always been more than that little shit. I make the equivelant of a years pay in a month. How stable do I have to be after that? 1 year at my unstable income and I could have 10 bad ones and still be ahead of you.

                                                          My last employer had 2 sons. Both were fresh out of HIGHSCHOOL giving me advice on what I was doing. Not only was I a foreman but I had 8 years of experience in my field and had been a foreman on multi million dollar projects whereas the projects I was getting the "advice" on were between 100 & 200K jobs. Makes you just want to smack the shit out of the little fuckers.

                                                                  Cheers.

                                                                      At least in a self-employment situation you know what you have to do and then do it.

                                                                      Being employed there's no telling what psycho you'll end up under and no real way to know (until it's too late) how that person (or group of people) is handling business.
