    “Employers are unprotected. We have no rights. We don’t get overtime or breaks. The only thing we get is what’s left over after everyone else takes their cut. At some point, the risk outweighs the reward.”

    Right, that’s what Entrepreneurship is. You take the big risks for the potential for big rewards. If you’re not earning enough after paying all the bills, maybe your business model isn’t viable.

      They sound so entitled. Too bad they’re not profitable enough to hire a PR consultant because his statement was horrible.

      Imagine being such a dumbass that you can’t figure out how to make your business look superficially good and sell it to some schmuck or load it up with debt and bail. Employers have the game completely rigged in their favor, they just have to know how to play the game. It’s shocking that someone who decided living in Redding was a good idea would be so stupid.

      If he’s not getting paid enough working for himself, he should go work for someone who pays better and offers all those breaks and overtime.

      They don’t even take big risks. The company does. If they fund the company themselves rather than get an investment or a loan, they are just bad at the job. If the company fails, then the worst thing that happens to an entrepreneur is that they have to find a real job like the rest of us.
