They were compensated for their labor. That’s how employment works.

In an ideal world, it would be.

He doesn’t seem to like unions, which in principle would ensure his big powerful corporation was being fair to the labour force.

You said "people not owning what they create" as though it was an unthinkable option. It's literally what most people do for a living, you said it yourself. What makes Bezos special? Why does he deserve to own ALL the creation of all of these people? I guess it can't be because he came up with the idea of Amazon, right? It is usually pointed out in SV that "ideas are worthless" after all

So why wasn't Mr Bezos merely compensated for his labor?
