Working under someone usually takes the fun out of work even when you’re in the line of work you enjoy. Also, working under lots of stupid rules and system and especially deadlines usually takes away lots of creativity and the mood to even do something.

Say for example, You have a great idea which could improve your department’s efficiency by “a lot”. But, your boss needs you to do something “More important” to keep his ass out of the fire. After that, you’re in the fire just because the company is implementing some “cost cutting” measures. So what does your boss do? Give you more work and and tighter deadlines so you can “prove yourself” that you’re one of the better ones to be hired back, OR “Here’re a few phone numbers, good luck”.

I’m studying really hard to get my qualifications. If I get a better paper, I get a better job… working under somebody…

What great system is that?
