Business Bondage

We really need more Fifty Shades references on Shmoop. If anyone has ideas, please email us.

Anyway...many days we all feel like we are held in bondage (the bad kind) by the company we work for. Imagine how you would feel if it was your own business and you couldn’t just up and leave?

No one is chaining workers to a (leather) cubicle, but many business owners feel they are in business bondage. Due to financial stress, a poor economic climate, too much competition, or incompetent employees, they might want to sell and do something else, but believe they can’t afford to. So many work harder and not smarter, refuse to delegate, and don’t put any money into marketing or better technology.
