Job or starting up-what would fulfil


Whining
These days everybody whines daily about long hours,lack of appreciation , asshole boss, unfair appraisal,inability to maintain work-life balance and the rest.
Most announce that I will “fucking quit my bullshit job” and become an entrepreneur and make it big like Steve Jobs or Bill gates.
Only these growlings are not followed by any concrete actions to quit the job or startup but is merely a way to let out frustration

Evaluating advantages and disadvantages of both:
Advantages of Job
  • Stable income
  • Job security
  • Growth opportunities
  • Disadvantages of job
  • Asshole boss
  • Long hours
  • No work life balance
  • No appreciation
  • No projects of choice


Advantage of startup
  • Autonomy
  • Building own growth path
  • Rapid growth possible
  • Freedom


Disadvantages of startup
  • Beggar like situation in initial phases for founders
  • No guarantee of take off
  • Can be wound up or acquired anytime
  • Low possible effort to reward ratio

So the question is what is the way out-job or startup?
The answer is none.That deep sense of satisfaction and inward fulfilment you are seeking will not stem from work-be it a startup or a corporate job.
That satisfaction will stem only from searching your soul and delving into corners and then filling them with adequate self love.

Insecure Boss Syndrome and how to deal

Hello everybody, This is my first post today and I thought i'd start with a super-common yet extremely important topic-an asshole /insecure boss . We spend a large part of our lives at the workplace and are often plagued with horrible managers.Also, it is extremely unfortunate that we do not choose our managers but they are assigned to us. A good manager can lead to motivation, growth, skill improvement and promotions while a bad one can create unhappiness, tears, emotional pain, anger and frustration. Lets first delve into the characterstics of an insecure manager: Micromanages Does not trust you Does not stand up for employees in front of clients Is overtly critical Requires updates every 5 minutes Cannot appreciate good work Feels threatened by employees who are better than him Creates and fuels team politics Plays favorites Openly insults employees Uses control as a means to feel secure Creates artificial sense of urgency Is never at peace The most im...
