Life as employee

May 28, 2007 5:15am CST
Have you live as an employee before you start your business? It sucks when we sit down from 8 to 5 that is 8 hours working in only a single cubicle. It means 88 days in a year and 7,333 days in a month. We waste our life there and we're just an employee!

This is the consequences of being poor. We need to work to earn a living and to survive. I am really very disappointed with my co employee today... I am just a casual employee and only earned a minimum wage and work equally to the others who earned thrice my salary. i have this officemate that is already a regular in the company. I just could not accept his being so demanding and acted like he is a my buss and frankly, he is not. Even he can do the job and do nothing rather than texting to someone else, he always pass the work to me and the sad thing is he never even say please... If i can just find a new job... i will definitely resign... Well, what i am trying to say here is that, if you are just an ordinary employee you should have patients and attitude on your job. Someday i wanna be a buss on my own company... with God's well of course.

when i read your comment it reminds me to someone else in my office who look bossy. Actually she's a direct leader of a team consist of 5 people. I often heard her subordinate complaining said that she's always giving more and more job that actually she can undertake by herself. When we deal with this kind of person I think we should keep fighting and keep shining! This is important as when we are under pressure we can still come out with our best. I am sure if we are shining, the top management will see our potential and maybe they will give us a chance

Everybody is not lucky to have own business. Capital is required, knowhow, managing capacity, running around talent, so many are needed to start business. But you can be employee any time. That is why you find employees more than the business men. If you start liking the job you are doing and take interest in it, certainly you will not feel bored. After all you are going to do that work. Do it with interest and it will not bore you. See how you can do it best, bring your talent into it get a good name in it then you will like your work. I was an employee for 39 year. I did not feel bored.

yes buchi,that's true not everyone's lucky. But luckiness is not also about business. Sometimes everyone is not lucky to have their dream job. A dream job is a job we would like to do, we have the passion and interest in doing so. At this point maybe we will not feel bored. My point is, if you can't have a dream job then search for it. And if you can't find it then create it. So then you would not feel waste your time living in your cubicle.
