On the topic of work, everybody must make the decision of how they want to start it. They could choose to open their own business, or to go find a job as a mere worker in a company. Clearly, it depends on whom the person is and how they decide to approach work. Some people think that they should learn to work from experience, and to get to know their surroundings, while others think that it would be more ideal to start big. Business is a huge part of life, as it can impact our salaries, our social status, and our relationships. It’s a huge responsibility for one to decide how they will start working and whom they will start working as. Of course, everyone has different views on work, but one thing will stay the same. Their decision will either end up being one of the best decisions in their lives or one of their worst. According to statistics, 61% of employees can do their boss’ jobs. This is because they receive almost the same training, so it honestly depends on how the person decides to start working. They could either be a worker, or take more responsibility, and become a boss. In my opinion starting off as a staff is a better idea than starting off as a boss.
A baby first starts to crawl, only then can they walk, and then run; being a boss is like skipping walking and going straight to running. What this means is that being a boss may be less ideal for people who have just started working. They still haven’t had the time to adapt to the working environment, and are only starting to get used to working. If they start off as a boss, there will be more pressure forced upon them, and this will lead to them not doing their jobs properly. Research shows that only 13% of all the bosses that are new to working are actually good at their job. That makes 77% of the new bosses bad at their jobs. However, if we compare this to bosses who are more experienced in the working field, we can see that 64% of these bosses are good at their jobs. This only makes 36% of bosses who aren’t as experienced in their jobs. Although this may seem like a huge amount of bad bosses, it is still a much better improvement from the number of bad bosses who have just started working. I believe that in the working industry, it is better to start slow and steady than to immediately take on something that is not in one’s level.
Losses are a big part of business, and as we can imagine, bosses suffer way worse consequences when the company’s sales drop down. The boss would technically be suffering more consequences than the workers because they would have to worry about what will happen to the business once they go broke, and the boss is the one who has to pay major costs. The workers wouldn't be losing much other than a bit less of a salary. Also, more experienced bosses would have a higher possibility in knowing what to do and how to get the company back on its feet because the boss has more working experience. Obviously, there’s nothing wrong with being a boss, but it really depends on when the person wants to be a boss. Starting off as a boss could be a really bad decision, especially for the entire company and for their salary. Statistics show that because bosses earn about 25% more than the workers, they have to use their salary to repair for the damages of the company, as well as give the workers the same amount of salary they would usually receive. As we can see here, starting off as a boss could lead to bad decisions which end up in great losses.
As a boss that just learned how to work, we can probably imagine that it will be very stressful. What I mean by this is that a lot is expected from them as a boss with no experience in working whatsoever. Even as a boss with working experience, they are still expected to do many things that may be beyond their limits. Imagine how much harder that would be as a boss with no working experience. However, the staff have much less pressure put on them and have much more time to adapt to the surrounding environment instead of having to learn things outside of their learning capacities. This puts the boss to a disadvantage, and although many people are willing for a challenge, this can impact their entire life. Instead of being able to take their time while doing things, bosses have to rush in what they’re learning if they want to become a boss without having any working experience. 75% of companies that have inexperienced bosses struggle with unhappy employees, especially at the bosses’ unprofessionalism. A solution that I would offer is if people took more time to learn, and then become a boss. This may seem like a difficult solution, especially since there would be no bosses if everyone had to start as an employee, right? Actually, this statement is false. There are already bosses in our present day and they won’t all suddenly vanish. This is why people who’ve just started working shouldn’t rush themselves and start off as an employee.
Many people believe that when one starts working, they should work as a boss, while others believe differently. In this debate, I have given reasons to why workers who have just started working should start off as employees. Let’s take a look at a possible situation. Let’s say Margaret has just been told that she was currently allowed to work as she has already completed her learning. However, she has only been asked just now whether she wanted to start as a boss or as an employee. But this couldn’t be right. She took the same curriculum as everyone else, so this meant that bosses and employees started with the same training. Clearly, she knew that many things could go wrong if she started off as a boss. She literally has the same amount of knowledge in the working industry as all the other employees, so how was she expected to be superior towards them? Her unprofessionalism may cause great losses in the company. Now, we can see that due to just one inexperienced boss, the whole company could crash down and everything could go wrong. That is the power a boss has. So should we really trust inexperienced workers to take a role as serious as this? In my argument, with proven reasons and statistics, I strongly believe that no, workers who have just arrived in business should not start off as bosses.
