Great post. I think this is one of the reasons I want out from the 9-5 grind. I've dealt with too many people that were good or even great engineers and terrible managers.
I've had one good manager and the only thing he did to make him a good manager in my eyes, was to make me feel like a human being and not just a resource used to make some CEO hundreds of millions of dollars.
You're very right @gniksivart. That's a very good reason to be independent and break free from the prison of employment. Another reason for me is the freedom to do whatever I want whenever I want to. I see you're well on your way to do that with your work here. I hope we can break free through our work on the steemit platform.
