Just the title. I've been pulling some crazy all-nighters and I'm absolutely exhausted, and I'm remembering a time when I could comfortably say "fuck off" without any mixed feelings. Now I feel some perverse responsibility to kill myself for our project and I kind of hate myself for it.
I'd argue small businesses are just more likely to either be much better or much worse, and large companies will typically be 'average'. Small businesses can fly under the radar on so many laws, and can either serve their local community in spite of lost profit, or on the other hand more effectively exploit local spikes in unemployment. Large businesses can't micromanage that hard and are forced to be held to account.
My position is that if a small business looks good (ie, the boss isn't a chud/slave driver), then I'd happily work for 'em. Whereas most large businesses are just always the same.
