You're underpaid by definition if the company reports a revenue >0.
If your labor was compensated for the actual value it produced, no company could turn a profit. Thats the fundamental problem of capitalism
- bluGill 4y agoYou fail to appreciate the value provided by capital. The work I do today will earn my company zero this year, since the code won't be released to production yet. (in embedded we don't have the luxury of releasing on each push). Capital provides the pay I need to work today and will recover it over the next few years.
- cumshitpiss 4y agosure, but thats not revenue and doesnt contradict what i wrote above. The revenue of year 2 replaces the investment of year 1, everything beyond is unbounded profit. Whether capital investment earns the right to sole access of those profits is the question. You can see before your eyes what happens when the answer to that question is "Yes".
