    If you compare the income vs expenditures of major companies and compare it to the contributions made by their workers to achieve it, they are still exploiting even (1) highly paid workers and (2) workers who don’t seem to be doing much. It’s really just misdirected work that doesn’t factor in, but even then that’s kind of the deal: selling labor time for them to direct it. You’re paid to let them do that even if they’re not great at it.

    Anyways if you ever get to peek at their balance sheets and payroll your head will explode with rage.

      I’m an accountant so I see those at a high level. It just shows how inefficient the system all is. I wish it was easy for most people to be self employed.
