The more steps between you and the revenue the less you get paid based on the value you bring. Far away from the revenue, the value you bring just sets a wage ceiling. You deserve exactly as much as what you can bargain for. Which could be

I agree with Drakonka that it's dystopian when being moderately assertive talking about labor rights is viewed as a reason to fire someone. Especially when these kinds of notifications have a history of being used to tamely spread info

You're right it's debunked, but even if you take survival rate at age 15 in the Paleolithic era life expectancy was 54 [1]. There were some aristocratic populations that last over 64 at age 21 [1]. [1] https://en.m.wiki
