I once worked for a hybrid electronics firm that made parts for the Air Force. I liked the job because I was solely responsible for the production of my parts form raw material to finished product awaiting final QC and packaging. I produced 100 parts per week and was paid $6.25 per hour. When I became a manager at the company I discovered that the company sold the parts for $660 a pc. ($66000 a week gross on my $250 per week labor). I made the deal at 6.25 per hour and at that time could cover all my expenses, but the inequity of the situation continues to bother me.
Incidentally, the company sold to a foreign investor and was moved overseas. And all the production staff was terminated. I never broke the deal I made but the company that hired me let me go as soon as they could make more money.
The whole situation says Greed to me.
