    If you were paid what you were worth the company wouldn’t make any money.

    Corporations exist by the excess value of their workers’ labor, by definition.

      Eh that’s a paradox though. If the company makes no money, there’s no job for you in the first place making you worth nothing.

        It’s not a paradox. The money the company makes is profit. Profit is what’s left of revenue after costs are subtracted. People’s pay is a cost.
