I agree with what you are saying. I personally have never seen something in the real world that looks much like "wage theft". I have seen hundreds of examples of basically the inverse, workers deliberately lying to employers to earn more. I think it's best if we just keep the word "theft" out if it. It is a misleading rhetorical tool.

> workers deliberately lying to employers to earn more I don't see it. Is your contract about labor done, or about time given away? In the first case, i don't see it, unless you lie about the labour done (which is pretty hard to do unless your employer don't understand one lick of what you're doing). If its time spent, well, i'm pretty sure that you then have to take into account commute time, time spent thinking about your work, mistake you've done, explaining what you're doing to people, bounding with coworker. In this case, i'm pretty sure most devs, arch or ops are owed a lot of money :)
