Yep. I rely on a job for income. My boss has leverage over me. I can't go too long without a job. I don't have a say on what the company works on.


Nailed it. These are about the conditions of your existence and the dignity of your profession, not how much you are being paid.

A worker might get paid $1,000 in compensation every time an executive hits him with a baseball bat, but it doesn't make it okay. You might later increase the payment to $3,000 per blow. But it is still assault, even though that is a lot of money to be earning for a job that anyone can do.
