The Rhetoric 'be your own boss' is hypothetically correct.The world is full of bosses; everyone plays boss daily; the moment you receive or refuse any service or you use your right to pay or refuse to pay for unsatisfactory service, which we do perpetually, we are showing our boss right over another irrespective of their position in the society. Remember, the customer is boss.
The Rhetoric should rather be 'choose your own boss' & the first right of refusal is totally at your discretion.
Little wonder both the employer & the employee reserve the right to fire the other party.Hiworks
