An employer who has leverage is exploiting you, I never denied that. My point is that it’s leverage that gives people power. If your best skill set is equivalent to a high school student, you have no leverage. You can obtain leverage by obtaining and developing skills, or by creating value. If not, the employer has all the leverage and will use it to exploit you.
Leverage goes both ways. It’s just people like you refuse to see it both ways. You just think employers with all the leverage will pay you more out of the goodness of their heart. No, you as person has to create leverage so that you can demand it.

I don’t disagree with you, but it’s really about leverage. If you don’t have leverage, you’re probably not getting paid what you think you should.
