The “I’m my only boss, and my boss is not an idiot” Manifesto
Posted by: Jason Drohn In: quirky
Hugh MacLeod of Gaping Void has been taking “Mini-Manifestos†for the past couple weeks. This one was submitted by Rod Call, and I must say, I can’t put it any better myself..
- If I want to listen to Johnny Cash during the “work dayâ€, then I listen to Johnny Cash during the workday.
- If I want to declare flip-flops and a t-shirt as “acceptable dress codeâ€, then I declare flip-flops and t-shirts as acceptable dress code.
- Since I lost patience for “micro-managing supervisorsâ€, I am sure to not micro-manage nor become a “supervisorâ€.
- I might miss a “steady paycheckâ€, but I don’t miss burnt coffee, fluorescent lighting, and zombie-like co-workers.
- 8 – 5 with weekends and holidays off! Means nothing if at 5:01 and on weekends and holidays you feel like a prisoner who has been freed, only to know that you must return soon.
And you were wondering what the true benefits of being an entrepreneur were?
