The value of your labor is a function of (what you do for them, what they do for you, what you can do without them, and what they can do without you). Why the value of your labor isn't (total profit of company / how much of the labor you think your work represents) is because you're not the only person that could have done that, and there are plenty of people who would do it for less. This exercise is being carried out millions of times per day, and the terminal value of this exercise is $150-$300k for most engineers in the area. The flip side is true, too. If the value of your labor is truly what you say it is, and all it takes is a few engineers like yourself to produce that high valuation of the total company, what are you doing employed somewhere where your work is so undervalued?
