Wage theft is not merely being underpaid relative to the work you do. It's actually not paying someone who worked

Wage theft as only "not paid what was owed according to current law" is already the biggest form of theft and the least prosecuted.

Please don't help perpetuate capitalist exploitation by blurring it with the "value theft" inherent to capitalism

"I think I deserve more, but I accept less anyway"

Maybe you don't deserve more

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I think I deserve more, but I accept less anyway, due to the ever present threat of unrecoverable retribution against myself and my family if I negotiate too hard

Everyone has excuses for why they are not successful...

I'm glad to hear that you don't have a family, a pet, or other unit that you need to support other than yourself, and do not have an illness that requires medical insurance in a country that requirrs it for care, that a capitalist cannot exploit.
