Nowadays many people choose to be self-employed, rather than to work for a company or organisation.
Why might this be the case?
What could be the disadvantages of being self-employed?
In the contemporary epoch, some people prefer to work as a freelancer rather than as one of the members in organisations. In this essay, I will explain the reason for that phenomenon and the negative impacts on their jo and personal lives.
Due to the development of technologies, the professions have been tremendously specialised and specified. Thus, international companies tend to have temporary workers who can handle with very professional and particular tasks. Since employers do not want to spend their budgets on the temporary problem, once the troubles are solved, they do not extend the working period of the precarious workers.
Also, the freelancers can not only gain more money by devoting to multiple tasks at the same time but also take their time flexibly according to their health conditions, financial situations, or even their family situations. Through those reasons, people tend to choose to become self-employed.
Even if that phenomenon ahs advantages of two levels companies and freelancers, it can cause two negative influences on companies and the self-employed. Firstly, when it comes to the company, working with the freelancers, temporarily can render other full-time workers’ performances to become inefficient. In general, communications intertwine with diverse elements, which include not only contents or intentions but also facial expressions, postures and motions. Through that inherent characteristic in human beings, communication with temporary workers who are located in other geographical areas can not be efficient and well-delivered. As a result, it makes decrease the level of others’ projects in the company.
Secondly, the self-employed are very vulnerable to be dis-organised and distracted by the environments so that they have a high possibility not to manage their time correctly. To be more specific, they are generally working at the home, which is too much comfortable and has distractions such as their babies, piles of laundry or dishes. Those distractions render them not to concentrate on their task. As a result, they are not likely to finish their assignment in time.
In conclusion, I believe that free-lancing has two disadvantages from two perspectives: the company and the self-employed because it can cause lower performances.
