employee vs business owner
The reading passage argues that working for a company has many negative aspects and it's better to have your own business. However, the speaker in the lecture casts doubt on the claims made in the article. He mentions that starting a business is a road filled with trouble since most businesses ultimately fail and it's preferrable to be an employee.
First and foremost, the author contends that employees have to deal with multiple levels of bureaucracy in a corporation and it's hard to get in contact with the upper echelon, meaning their ideas are never listened to or acted upon. In addition, senior management always take credit for the hard work done by their staff. The lecturer, on the other hand, indicates that establishing a new business is also a bureaucratic nightmare since the owner has to satisfy the requirements of state and federal laws by obtaining the necessary permits and licenses. Moreover, even if one had a great idea, this idea might have already been patented by someone else.
Secondly, the writer holds that job security is a thing of the past as most corporations that were once believed secure crumbled under the weight of financial miscalculations, leading many people to lose their employment. According to the excerpt, operating a business offers greater degree of financial security. Nevertheless, the lecturer refutes this argument by declaring that employers have to pay taxes, rent and employee wages, which put them under financial pressure. What's more, the lecturer further elaborates that new businesses that do not become profitable after six months are unlikely to succeed leaving the owners with all the accrued debt that they would have to repay.
Lastly, the article asserts that when corporations go bankrupt, workers lose their pension plans and benefits. Nonetheless, the listening maintains that running a business is even riskier since the employer has to provide insurance for the property, inventory and the employees as well. Furthermore, in case the pension plans fall apart, workers could sue the firm for their lost compensation.
