If you lost a job would you feel anxious because you might not be sure what's next or be relieved because that means you wont have to be there?

If you ever get fired, I'll hire you on the spot so don't ever hesitate to tell your boss to go get stuffed when he gets out of line!

That's why self-employment is the answer.
What you'll find in Asian and Indian cultures is an almost zero rate of unemployment. That is because those two cultures believe in self-employment and not being employed by someone or some company who has control over your employment future and therefore has control of your income.

@swirlie Yeah but when you are self-employed you are bullied directly by the government. Pay this insurance, pay that insurance, pay this tax, you must register here if you want to do this, you need another tax number for a slightly different activity, you accept cash? You have to get a virtual cash register, which is another fee, then they will dictate even how you will send your invoices, you must get a special software for it, which is of course another fee...You can't even fart without informing the financial administration and the tax office about it first.

That is correct!
What you are describing is exactly the path that every employer has to follow by law in order to be in business.
That employer then hires people for an hourly wage who have nothing invested in the business except their time which they get paid for.
Employees sell their time to their employer, while the employer sells his goods and services to his customers.
The employer then deducts expenses from his gross profits and then pays taxes on his net income, not gross income.
Employees on the other hand, pay taxes on their gross income but have no expense deductions to reduce their gross income like their employer does, which means employees pay tax on gross income, not net income like their employer does.
If you want all the perks of business ownership, you have to play the game no different than do large corporations have to play that same regulatory game with the government.
The difference however between an employee and an employer is the standard of living difference between the two of them, meaning that an employer's car is an expense write-off, whereas an employee's car is an expense that cannot be written off by an employee and must be purchased using the employee's net income, not gross income like the employer otherwise enjoys as a business perk.
An employer buys his car with gross income and then writes off the expense to run it which is called a business expense, which means the money he ends up with in his personal bank account after he pays himself a meager wage all year long, doesn't get used for such things as buying cars using after-tax dollars because his business already provided him with a car which the business itself pays for from start to finish, not him!

I worked in a bookstore for 12 years and after about 9 years I was sick all the time. I had acid reflux and nothing my doctor prescribed helped. Then one Saturday morning the store manager called and fired me over the phone. My acid reflux vanished instantly. That was 2003 and it has never bothered me since.

Leaving a job is a good thing, even if you leave voluntarily. When we hang in there for 35 years chasing a pension waiting for us in the end, we stop growing the day we tell ourselves that we'll be working here until I retire or they carry me out in a wooden box, whichever comes first.
