Your employer doesn’t feel that way.

Of course they do. They wouldn't hire you otherwise.

They hire you to make money off your labour, and pay you less than you make them, none of that involves "partnership".

"They" organise the workforce and find/reach a market for said labour. Is your assertion that this has no value?

Understand: I make no claim that malevolently exploitative companies don't exist; of course they do.

But your position seems to be that any company that makes any profit is malevolently exploitative.
