I own a company

I ‘own’ a company where the boss and its single employee are the same person.Life is easy for the boss because ‘he’ can always keep an eye on the employee without having to install fancy survelliance equipment.

But for the employee life ain’t easy at all. ‘He’ feels ‘he’s working for a slave driver - no pay, no perks, no weekends or regular working hours. Of course, the employee can go AWOL, or be tardy. But remember ‘he’ is the boss, too!

It’s a hell of a company which makes no profit because it never makes a sale. All it does is turn over all its turnover - give its products away for free.
It only has ‘overheads’. How can anyone make any money with such a business model?

You’d think this company would go out of business tomorrow morning. The problem is that both the boss and employee are happy in their roles. One does the thinking, the other is responsible for implementing. They are both so busy there’s no one to keep the ledgers, do the book-keeping - or hire lawyers.
