Everyone works for someone else. You can work purely for yourself, but if you don’t have a customer you will starve.

Even a solo company works for other people - it’s just that they can fire bad customers and it doesn’t take away their entire income. This is a much different power dynamic than an employer employee, but you’re still working for someone else (customers or investors) or you’re not bringing in money.
