I mean, if you're not independently wealthy, you need a job which is gonna have a boss, or you can work for yourself, then every client becomes "the boss". If you're not rich on your own, there's gonna be a boss who pays you, or not. I'm as pro union as they come, but thinking you don't need someone to pay you for your labor is insane. The boss needs labor, and labor needs to get paid, to be able to afford silly things like food, rent, clothes, transportation, child rearing. You may not need a particularly shitty boss and/or owner, but you're gonna need someone to pay for your labor, and they're all gonna have expectations.
