    Eh that’s a paradox though. If the company makes no money, there’s no job for you in the first place making you worth nothing.

      No you are misunderstanding the roles of labor and capital. If I withhold my labor, then the owners have nothing to sell. If they withhold pay to me, I go to another company with my labor. Capital cannot create value, only labor can.

        You can go to another company, but they too wouldn’t exist if they didn’t make money.
