How much of the profit do you get from your company? Pennies I’m sure, you are just okay with it because it’s more pennies than other penny makers, but you are not taking home close to the value add on your labor.

I don’t think it’s equally comparable because there’s typically lots of indirection between a worker and profit.

I used to do tech consulting where I would be bodyshopped through a contracting firm and they would typically take 20-40%. I wouldn’t work for a firm that took 75%.

Yournargumt maybe applies to Uber drivers and factory workers.

Tim Cook and team do not collect anywhere near 75% of the total income of Apple workers.
