A friend is the secretary of a startup company owner. When he told me about his boss, I realized that the boss’s life turned out to be very hard, and it was far worse than my own life.

In order to maintain customer relations, my friend’s boss often drinks with his customers. Drunk, he vomited on the side of the road. It's hard to imagine that this drunkard with his clothes full of filth is the boss who was so prosperous during the day. I vomited until my eyes were bloodshot and my whole body felt weak, so I finally rinsed my mouth with mineral water. The next day, if the client has a meal, he still has to drink and vomit.

This reminds me of what happened to Mr. Zhang Rui, the founder of Chunyu Doctor, in October last year. Mr. Zhang Rui died in Beijing at the age of 44 due to myocardial infarction caused by overwork. Before his death, Mr. Zhang Rui was very anxious. I couldn't eat well or sleep well every day. Before going to bed at night, I would worry about what to do if my financial chain was broken. In the morning, I would cheer up and encourage myself, saying that my product has solved the pain of so many people and is so valuable, so I will definitely get money. It's just that "the fate is not there". Later, both sides of his temples turned completely white. His father, who had been a doctor for many years, told him that this was an autonomic nervous disorder caused by mental stress.

It turns out that the boss is not as handsome as imagined, and there are blood and tears behind him.

Not only the bosses of start-up companies, but also the CEOs of listed companies, life is not as easy and comfortable as we imagined. We all only notice the bright images in the spotlight and in newspapers and media, but rarely see the hardships behind them.

Take Zhou Hongyi, the head of Qihoo 360, for example. In an interview, he mentioned that he had no other hobbies except occasionally listening to classical music in the office. I work until 12 o'clock every day and never sleep before 12 o'clock. The world is changing too fast and there is no eternal stability. The boss is always faced with a sense of crisis. This company is great today, but it may not be so the day after tomorrow.

As the saying goes, you only see thieves eating meat, but you don’t see thieves getting beaten. He is dignified in front of others, but sheds tears behind others. What it's like to be a boss is not as easy as we imagined. As employees, we should do our jobs well. If possible, try to think from the perspective of the boss, save costs for the company, and continuously optimize and improve.

In addition, employees who get paid on time every month should thank your boss, especially in the past two years. You may not know that while you are playing on your phone at work, your boss is anxious. You may not know that when you are looking forward to getting paid, your boss is signing the next IOU.

According to relevant surveys, more than 80% of current bosses in China are facing financial pressure, operating difficulties, and risks of bankruptcy. When a shipwreck capsizes, the most unlucky person is the captain. The crew can escape, but the captain is reluctant to part with his ship! The captain is the boss and the crew is the employees.

There is a song called "Boss, Don't Cry." This line in the song has moved countless bosses: Boss, don't cry, Boss, hold on. It is best to hope that every good boss’s kindness and righteousness are cared about.

Finally, what do you think about the boss’s hard work?
