Who cares about any of that? He was being paid. It was not a charity, it was work.

Companies don't owe you anything. (And you don't owe them anything, either.)

Work is a temporary agreement to provide services in exchange for money. That's it. Understand how the world works.

People who understand society care about it. When you employ someone you take on a certain responsibility. You can't negate that by pretending that you're in an equal power relationship.

That's why we have workers' rights.

Well I hope you get exactly what you want.
