Ask HN: What to do if you hate working for someone else and arent an entrepreneur?
I felt similarly often, even though I was working for a great company with great products and with a very humane way of working.  At some point I just could not stand the worker-owner fundamental power imbalance.  There is a lot of pretending in our industry that this conflict does not exist, which often ends up in quite schizophrenic logic.  I had to go.  And Since I don&#x27;t want to inflict such pain in other people, become the typical entrepreneur (i.e. a capitalist) was not an option either.<p>My solution for now is to freelance and consulting.  It comes with a hole different set of contradictions, but it is a good learning experience and great way to experiment and explore what you want to do. It also buys me time to do open-source and research, but it requires more self-motivation.<p>My long-term dream is to start a worker-owned coop with other people in the future.
