Companies typically pay their workers

I am creating the product that they sell

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You really aren't. You're a small piece of the product that they sell.

Look, if they can’t afford to make a profit selling people’s data without paying everyone at least minimum wage then the industry shouldn’t exist

Cool, where's my small piece of the profits?

[–] MrBusinessMan@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

If you don’t own shares you aren’t entitled to any of the profits.

Nope, you’re just raw materials to be mined.

Then I own the land and they should be leasing it from me

You’ll own nothing and you’ll like it, get back to work
