Not necessarily. I agree that most businesses are there to make money, so if we remove the small % that arent (ie charities) we can take that as a basic premise. However most businesses start out as single people or groups finding ways to make money to provide for themselves and their families and grow from that, until today the big businesses are there to generally make money for shareholders rather than a single person
Returning to the premise that most companies start from small groups of people, these take on employees for two main reasons : To do tasks either they cant do or dont want to do. Yes the owner at this stage would expect to make more money for himself than the persons he employs, but fortunately in this country if the worker believes he can make more elsewhere or by doing it for himself he is free to do that.
When an employer takes on a person to do a role they inform the person what they want them to do, and their remuneration for same. What I see happening however is that some people expect the money, but dont believe they have to do the work. They dont appreciate that the business is in the business of making money and that they have a part to play, regardless of their feelings on how much money the boss makes. They were offered a job to do certain tasks, and if they accept it to my mind they should do it.If they dont like it there are options open to them.
