Being able to work a job that you're passionate about is a major privilege, and being paid less than your counterparts is not "exploitation". amirite?

The people who are willing to be exploited.

by Aggressive-Memory 1 week ago

Anyone forced to sell their labour, at a price where the employer makes more than they do out of it, on pain of starvation and excommunication is being exploited. The "everything must be this way" viewpoint is a total cope. To believe that things couldn't be done in a better way than is done today is ludicrous.

The person who sets up the company should make less then the people who work for him? Why would they set up the company in the first place?

What's the realistic alternative?

The worker is also an owner

Its exploitative due to the information asymmetry.

Your opinion is wrong in so many ways. Whether something is exploitative is not dependant on whether you're passionate about it. You can be exploited and be really passionate about your job, or you can not be exploited and be really passionate about your job, they aren't dependent factors. Compensation is not inversely related to desirability of the job. Compensation is a product of supply, demand, and negotiation. If there was only one person in the world able and willing to make sandwiches, and everyone in the world suddenly craved only sandwiches, and that person held out for a commensurate wage, that sandwich maker would be a billionaire. Moreover, being able to work a job you're passionate about is a choice not a privilege. If you don't like your job you can choose to do one you like. Yes, you may be unable to pay your bills as a result; that is part of your choice. Choosing to be destitute so you can follow your passion is a choice not a privilege.

I mean overall work is voluntary and thus not exploitation That's the thing in almost every developed country. There's a level of consent

So a worker deserves more money solely because they dislike their job? How does that make any sense OP?

by Sad_Associate695 1 week ago

No matter how much you get paid, if you don't love your job, it's going to suck. There's definitely more to it than that, but finding something you like that pays well is one of the purest forms of happiness.

Because what they are "passionate" about they just aren't talented enough at. Like Taylor swifts passion is music but she actually has Talent though so she can get paid a fortune doing it.
