Okay, I’ll take the bait. The company who hires you is also taking all the risks.
Broken machine? The boss has to pay. Sick employee? In my country you still get paid.
Have a shitty month with very little profit? People still want to get paid. Need to invest in better machines, tools, buildings? Guess what, you’re now committed to making that money back.
An employee makes a very expensive mistake? Guess who’s going to pay for that.
All in all, at least in my situation I can say my boss carries a significant risk for personal finance ruin. He puts his money on the line, and gets to collect the rewards.
I get to go home when it’s time. He pays me a very reasonable salary, takes care of his employees and I get payed every month. Doesn’t matter if it is a good month or 3 customers went bankrupt and left him with a 200000 dollar bill unpaid.
I am not complaining. If I want, I can quit and start my own company. That is, if I have the skills to:
Know everything there is to know in a specific field
Have the skills to work with clients
Have enough insight to know what to charge customers
Have the skills to work with suppliers and work out deals
Have the skills to put a long term plan together for the future of the company and keep track of that, while also keeping back up options in mind
Still be able to relax a bit so I don’t go into a burnout
Lots more
Some people here act like communism is everything. It’s not and it will not work.
The company I work at, has a lot of skilled people working there. I believe 30% may be able to make a living om their own if they really struggle. The rest cannot do that without working together with others to get work, or get work done. They are skilled in specific things that help the company as a whole, but on it’s own are not enough to survive.
The government is not capable of organizing things like companies do. We’re seeing massive amounts of money wasted each year in my country and it’s not a third world country. I do not believe goverment owned companies will make the world better, it will just be more expensive.
And people will still find ways to enrich themselves while others work for that money. It is human nature.
