And dependency is reinforced by stroking of the ego from a paternal employer. While easy to blame an employer, dependency found in workers probably originated back at an earlier stage in life as you have mentioned. Dependency relationships were learned back in the childhood stage. Parents love 'em because they allow easier parental control, and makes the job of parenting easier. Kids go along with the program eventually by classical conditioning. Clean your room- you know you are getting a cookie. Dependency works. It allows people to survive. Problem is, one day you wake up when you're 40 and realize you're not happy with life beause you're owned by the MAN, and you've built your house on a foundation dependent on someone else other than yourself. Your hapiness is essentially at their whim. Still, it's your bed, you'll have to sleep in it. Just most of us won't be accountable to ourselves, and blame our unhappiness on others, many times our jobs/boss. Security in a job invites a certain level of dependency.

Dependency works. It allows people to survive. Problem is, one day you wake up when you’re 40 and realize you’re not happy with life beause you’re owned by the MAN, and you’ve built your house on a foundation dependent on someone else other than yourself. Your hapiness is essentially at their whim.

Still, it’s your bed, you’ll have to sleep in it. Just most of us won’t be accountable to ourselves, and blame our unhappiness on others, many times our jobs/boss.
