Um, yes... the hand that feeds you is the enemy... sure makes sense.
As Decky says, it is in an employer's interest to pay his employees as little as he can get away with, and to get them to work as many hours as he can get away with.
Thankfully normal people aren't entirely motivated by such base interests, we're talking humans here, not Fred and Rosemary west right?
It is in an employee's interest to secure himself the biggest wage he can for the least amount of work.
Who cares? There are a lot of things that are in my base interest and I happily ignore them, whether rape, murder, masturbation, or shoplifting.
Believe it or not, most people aren't all that thrilled to go into work each morning so that their boss can earn five or ten times their wage for a tenth of the effort.
That's their problem then, if they don't love their job they'd better learn to, or find a new one, because if they hate what they spend 40-50 hours every week doing then that's a pretty miserable life.
