He can sell the business or still run it in retirement, McKinsey employee works 25 hours a day and is a slave to his boss

A small business like that is likely very, very dependent on its owner. The owner may be a slave to his customers. The employee can just walk away.

Exactly. You don't make money without having a boss (or many bosses).

You can fire customers easier than quitting jobs. I fire customers daily. If you are reliant on 1 customer then it's not a business, it's a hobby.

Edit: Also you can be ethical.
