I’ve done both and I’m currently the owner. Having had to just fire someone this morning, those kinds of decisions as well as the other stresses are difficult but being able to pack up and leave and do whatever I want when I want is beneficial. The paychecks as the owner are bigger too but bigger stresses.

Some days I wish I had the lack of stress like my employees do. They don’t think twice about work once they leave. I’m always thinking about it, whether on the golf course or on the lake or at the beach but I still think and stress about it.

Well frick, I'm doing this all wrong then. I think about work all the time despite being a W2 turd-wrangler at a large corporation.

As an hourly employee it frustrates the hell out me how my fellow employees never put themselves in the bosses shoes.

The owner could be stuck doing business things from 5AM-10PM every weekday, including Friday and Sunday night. Then add the pressure of dealing with his customers keep them happy and kissing the asses of ungrateful employees to try to retain them. The absolute least we owe him a good days work, but far too many act like they're owed something.

Yes, he has more financially but at what cost? Getting abused from above and below? No thanks.
