The Boss Cycle

When I first started working. I wanted to be a boss. I want the autonomy and power that comes with it. I also hated the idea having a boss. Worse if the boss is the horrible type.

As I grew older, I experienced to be a boss. Then I realized I don’t want to be a boss. Too much responsibility. It’s also a mixed situation. People hate and like you. Yes. There are perks but I realized, a boss also has a boss to answer to. Whether it’s the CEO or a client. More so it gets messy and diluted when there are too many bosses around trying to boss each other up. Fucking tiring and lonely.

So I thought I’d go back being a plain employee having a routine or a bum with a senseless direction. But then I question, where is the fun in that? Or until when?

Being a boss is tough. It’s about empathy and respect from what I learned. So I don’t think I am a boss or XYZ user. It’s just a title or role. Maybe I am just some idiot thinking about trying to be better every day and to others. Cheesy but true.
