Why you should work for yourself
Posted by: | CommentsWhy should you work for yourself?
A question I’m sure many people have asked, but what is the answer.
I just saw a news story on Walmart laying off 11,000 part-time old ladies because they decided to outsource their jobs to a company that has the sole purpose of replacing those ladies with more old ladies to do the same job.
Yes, it is written correctly.
Doesn’t make sense unless Walmart has figured out a way to bring in this company with a cost less than what the people they laid off was costing them.
Which that means the old ladies this outside company has working for them is probably (I’m sure) is now making less than the ones that got laid off.
Walmart also told these old ladies that if they claim discrimination they won’t get their severence pay. Talk about black mail.
In the whole mess of this thing, they are also closing 10 Sam’s Clubs and opening 5 more. Talk about greedy.
So why should you work for yourself? Because the age old ethic of working for a company for 20-40 years and then retiring is gone. Most people work at a job less than 5 years and they are always going where there is more money.
Loyalty is the real problem. Companies don’t care about their workers, just the bottom line. So workers now don’t care about companies because they know they are just a warm body filling a spot that might disappear the next day they come to work without warning.
Working for yourself you at least have choices. You control how you make your money and who is in charge. If you don’t make any money you have no one to blame but yourself. This forces you to drive yourself to success. Working for someone else just gives you a crutch to lean on and give yourself excuses why you aren’t doing in better in life.
Think about yourself. Yes, you have to be selfish working for someone else, because you know the company doesn’t give a rat’s ass about your well being. If you get a chronic illness do they comfort you? Tell you that you will always have a job there because you have be so loyal to them and worked so hard? If you have to quit because of that chronic illness do they even give you a farwell party?
If you answer yes, then you need to realize it was the other employees not the company.
You know the only thing Walmart gave all those old ladies when they laid them off? The only option they got was a box of tissues when they walked into the room to get shit canned.
It is all about the money girls!
Posted by: | CommentsYou know, people often wonder why all my hobbies, thoughts, and life is about making money. Most people seem to think I need a hobbie inwhich to spend money on and take up my time.
Some have said I’m obessed with making money.
Actually, I’m not very materialistic. I just don’t have the desire to go out and buy things just because some advertisment tells me I can’t life without it.
You really don’t need a lot of the stuff on the market to be happy. Happiness isn’t about how much stuff you own or having the latest stuff on the market. Happiness is being able to do what you want in life.
So I ask, are you happy? I am. I enjoy making money, I enjoy exploring ways to make money. I just don’t feel I need all this crap they sell in the stores these days.
If you take a look at society you find that everyone is actually obsessed with money or the lack of it. People are in debit up to their eyeballs, they spend more than they earn, they spend money on shit they don’t need, and they have to have the new car, big house, and latest everything.
People go to work everyday, sometimes taking hours to get there, just for money. They put up with discrimination, abuse, being underpaid, overworked, lied to, screwed over, and whatever else their employer can get away with just to make the bottom line look good.
People put up with a lot of shit to make that weekly paycheck which goes to feed the addiction they have of spending money. Is it worth it? Is it worth the stress, health problems, and debt?
