Boss and employee



So, this is about a subject in my school. I have to come to this class every friday morning at 8 am., and the teacher noted that nobody should be late, because once you work in a company as an employee, nobody would give a fuck for any reasons you gave if you're being late. (*she didnt literally say 'fuck')

And also in this class, I learn, how to write resume, CV, and autobiography. and we'll be doing an interview for a job you choose. I know that they want to prepare us, so that we could graduate and apply for a job we want after it, and hope that we could make it. They want to teach us and show us the right thing to do to be a good employee.

At first, I was like, well, let's do this. I'm not interested in becoming employee, but my the everything needs to be paid, and i need money, so i have to work, and this class might teach me something I need after I graduate.

But after I wrote, and re-write my resume, and now I start to write my autobiography, plus all the things my teacher has always said in class, I started to believe, something is not right, here!

I heard of the word, 'getting a job' since i was in first grade in university. My teachers always told us how you should behave if you work with someone, and how you should behave especially in front of your boss, because your boss is the one who hired you, and just like the god who created human, all the shits you do wrong, would be punished, and what's wrong is the shit your boss do not like!

i dont give a fuck about this. i mean, when i was in first grade, 'getting a job after graduate' is much too far from where i was then. but when i am now in 4th grade, i couldn't care less about this, who dont need money, for 'you better go pee in the woods and chased by some kind of devil if you cant pay the money after you pee in some indonesian' gas-station.' i need money to buy things i want, things i need, pay rent, pay taxes, etc. So then i have to pay attention to this class.

But in this class, I realized, that we've been taught to be employees. How you should behave, because you're a minor, and you're just an employee. We've been taught that out there, there are many 'wild' boss who won't tolerate, if you in any case misbehave, or doing things your boss didnt like.
In other word, i've learned that, boss could do anything he wants just because he is a boss!\
and i also learned from this statement, that once we become boss, we RULE, we could do anything, hired everyone we want, and do shits just because we are already in one level higher than employee. now, the things we heard in university would not be in use anymore, for we're no longer employee, we're boss, we do anything we want.

Look, i havent graduated from university yet and yes, i didnt know what is it like out there. Of course it is true that many people told me the same things, that you should behave the way you should if you're an employee, for no one may not tolerate you, and your life may not as simple as your college life. So telling my teacher that her statement is bullshit would be too harsh.

But what I don't like here is, why dont they teach us to be human! neither employee nor boss. I know that all of these graduated people, only few of them would become a boss. teaching us how to be a boss must be too early. But why dont they teach us how to behave as a human being with moral and ethic no matter if you're employee or a boss! i know im not capable in talking moral and ethic, but why telling us that there's a wild world out there, not only that they want us to be well-prepared, but also this idea might also tell us, that we should be on top to rule, otherwise, you'll be the one who are being ruled, human in captivity! that's all the society told us.

You, people out there, i hope that no matter who you are, boss or employee, treat everyone with respect!

After browsing Brenda's blog I got lost here. I seldom leave responses but after reading this one, I have to note that I agree and I have been working for a boss since a long time.

Good luck with that class and don't forget, there is no such thing as a "standard boss or model employee".
