what's the good thing about being an employee?

Maybe the good thing is that you practice your profession if your a professional. But if your not a professional as the other want in their life will be to have money

I don't care about the advantage or disadvantage. I just know that if the job and the environment is not suitable for you even if you have made some adjustment and try many ways to get familiar and adapted but you failed and you still can't get through it then it is time for you to leave. What is the point to stay when you still have an 'headache' and struggling to survive there?

I think the only good thing about being an employee is that you get a paycheck. I have often been in boring, unfulfilling jobs, but I was able to pay the bills. Sometimes you find a job where you are actually happy, but not many people are that lucky I don't think. For me, the best jobs are where I am working with people and helping them in some way, whether it was teaching English in China or checking groceries. Any other kind of job I was bored with and couldn't get away from them soon enough.

The best thing about being an employee is you get to eat, have a roof over your head and have transportation. Aside from that, most people with real drive will not remain employees very long; they will opt to start their own business. Being an employee is safer than starting your own business. Your employer gives you benefits you have to provide for yourself if you are self-employed. Being an employee, usually you get insurance of some kind, vacations, sick days, sometimes bonuses. If you are self-employed, vacations are few and far between - like twenty to thirty years, you pay every cent of your insurances, you can't afford to be sick unless you have someone you trust 100% to run your business. Bonuses are for the employees you eventually hire; you often go without a full paycheck (or any paycheck) to ensure they get their bonuses, benefits, and paychecks. Being an employee allows you to play silly games on the company computers instead of asking who can I help with their project. Being an employee allows you to use company telephones for personal calls. In other words, it allows you to take profits from the company without a second thought. I'm not trying to be snippy here, just realistic. I've been an employee and self-employed with employees. Regardless of the fact that I worked 16-20 hour days instead of eight, and seven days a week instead of five, I preferred knowing I was responsible for helping others make a living and for putting a product the public wanted out on the market.

Aside from secured of having money every month, benefits are the good thing of being employed. that's what I see of having a job but they all say that you cannot be rich on being an employee, that's the saddest part. :(

I personally think its good because after a while you can know what to expect. With the economy the way it is, if you have a job than you can go to work bang it out and then do what you want without having to bring your work home with you. If you own your company a lot of times you get paid less or work ridiculous hours at the same time your family problems are still hovering on top of you. All that responsibility is hard to juggle but if you work for someone else than you can usually focus on specifics.

Hello, my friend. Being an employee does brings lots of benefits. At least here in Brazil, being registered in a job can give you lots of benefits like healthcare, retirement, higher payments, constitutional rights... Do you rely on your job to live? If yes, then I advise you not to do what you are about to do. Life sometimes seems to not be fair, doesn't it? But don't let life bring you down. What do you do when you're being pushed to the ground? You stand up stronger! Put a loud good song, that cheers you up. Yes, that one, that when you listen you want to start dancing. Start singing, as well. Loudly. And change what life is bringing to you! I know, this kind of advice may seems childish. But really, when you're passing through a bad moment, feeling sad will only make it worse. Try to cheer up, start dreaming about where do you want to be, make objectives for your life, and start achieving them. Don't give up on what you've got because of this bad moment. You'll get over it. And I'll be pushing you forward as I can. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

My family used to own a restaurant. We didn't get to hang out a lot with families because we always had to keep the business running, I mean yea we couldn't hire people to do that but at the same time, we wanted to make sure everything is alright wespecially financially. I think it's bad and good to be an employee, there is only that much you can do, if you don't want to do the job, you could quit; but being an employer, it is your own business, if you give up, that's your total loss, not liek you can just quit and look for another new job due to a big money risking on a business.

If you're an employee, you have regular salary. At least every month, even if you have a low income, you're expecting to get money at the end of the month. You have health insurance paid by your company. You also don't have to worry about your taxes like hiring an accountant because your company pays them for you. You also get 13th month pay.

The best part of being an employee? The day you get to hand in your resignation Seriously, I understand how you feel, I think anybody who's ever been employed for more than 3 months understands, we all have moments when the job is not fulfilling anymore. And that is a good sign. Most of the major international companies are looking for employees who feel that way after a while - it's a sign that they're making progress, are willing to accept new responsibilities and refuse to be stuck with repetitive tasks. I'm sure a better job will come your way sooner or later. Probably when you least expect it or when you've stopped looking, that's how it happens

Frankly, there is nothing good about being an employee...IF You have other options. There is no point arguing that work is not fun. If it is that much fun, everyone will be wanting your job. So you need to seek out the fun in your own work. Do you intend to start a company? Do you intend to go freelance? Do you intend to go hungry? do you intend to beg? If all these are "No", there is everything good about being an employee...in the meantime. OK, I am not asking you to beg.

To answer your question, I just would like to share my friend's situation. She is the owner of a language academy, and when we meet, she shares with me how stressful managing the business. Sometimes, she think that becoming a regular employee is better than being your own boss. Based on this, an advantage of being an employee is that most of the time, you are only concerned about your job or designated task. You are not responsible for managing the company's problems and issues. After office hours, for example, you can forget about work. For employers or business owners, their job is 24 hour, I think. They may not be obliged to report from 8am to 5pm but they have to think about ways and means to keep the company. Also, as an employee, you are assured to receive a specific amount monthly or weekly depending upon your company's payroll system.

The good thing about being an employee is that you can hopefully meet your financial needs.

Easy, the best thing about being an employee......you get paid, and unlike owning your own business, you don't have to put your butt on the line

Well if you have read about robert Kiyosaki's book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" you can see the stark difference between the employee's and employer's difference points of view when it comes to dealing with life and money. And from there you will realize that being an employee is the least amongst the four he discussed and there is nothing notable advantage being an employee. I guess being an employee myself I just see the advantage of it is the responsibility we hold compared to employers. We are only responsible for them for the hours that we've worked for. But employers would still think further beyond that for the survivability of the company.

Actually theres a lot of good things of being an employee...one is that you have an income that you expect every month. Two, you also have benefits, like health benefits and stuff. And you get to meet people. :]

It's pretty less stressful being an employee. Depends though. Some employees are more stressed than the boss especially if the boss does nothing but dictate and command. I think you need a break for now. Why don't you try going on vacation? I'm sure you have vacation incentives or leave credits. What you feel now is burnout. Something has to be done for you to ease it out and vacation is one way to help. evaluate your work. Are you adequately compensated? Are there benefits? Are there serious organizational problems that is putting you in unnecessary pressure? If you feel that your work is taking its toll on you, maybe you should consider looking for another job.

There are so many times that we complain as employees about our jobs. We complain about the work, the hours , the money and our bosses. One comfort we can take as employees is that we do have a job. so many are unemployed and unable to find a good job. We should be thankful for the employee we are in struggling times.

I think, being an employee has a lot of advantages. You get a lot of benefits like Insurance, Health card, paid vacation and sick leaves, freebies during Christmas, free summer outings and stuff. SOme companies also pay for your tuition when you decide to take a master's degree. THese are just some of the things that one can enjoy as an employee especially if you are with a generous and people-centered management. I used to be a freelance teacher before and then I realized that I need to be a part of an organization such as the one I'm with right now in order for me to grow as a career woman. At the end of the day, it all goes back to where your passion lies. Somehow, money won't matter or the other stuff if you are not enjoying your job. SO go where your heart wants you to be.

Well, i am an employee and i love my job. I always look forward to reporting to the office. The most good thing it gives me, is i am able to contribute to the schooling in college of our only daughter. Secondly, it helps me in keeping myself always presentable. I was able to buy things for myself without asking my husband for it.
