/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>2755513
Sometimes these are the best situations. I worked for a small time guy when I was apprenticing as a stone worker. We had fun, told each other off all day, made some money. Etc. issue was I had no room to grow and I had capped out on my wage potential. At the end of the day he was always going to be the boss and me the worker.

Cue me moving to a bigger company. They saw how skilled I was an dumped 9 employees on my lap to run a massive project worth around 4-5 million dollars for the year. My pay went up slightly but I was under so much pressure and deadlines it was horrible.

It took me about a year to decide I had no choice but to go on my own, I tried to recreate my first job, but with me as the boss and so far it's been great.
