Do you work for someone or with someone? When you work for someone here’s what that normally means:
- The boss gets to make all the decisions. Can you call back please, the boss is not here?
- You don’t get to see all the cards because the bosses don’t trust you to handle the information responsibly
- You are expendable. You are a supplier not a partner
- You are in transit until something better comes along; you really don’t give a damn
When you work with:
- You are more engaged. You are in a place where you feel comfortable enough in your own skin to speak up
- Monday mornings are not as painful because you’re going to the next family
- You start acting like an owner
- Money is not the only measure of your satisfaction
You can work for someone if you are a student in a summer job washing dishes. Once you start building a career, find some people in a company you can work with, or those greasy dishes would seem awfully attractive.
