Humans are born to rule not to be ruled. This is why we cannot bear working for someone else if there is no respect to gain. These days, poor workers are often seen as a low life and have zero value, and those who are richer have lots of fame and want to rule over poor people. This is an unacceptable balance of the present century, if you don't earn what you deserve, then what value is left to your hard work.

You'll be treated as someone who doesn't exist or someone whose work is the same as a ghost writer. A company/business/organization will use your talent for their own benefits. You'll be signed to follow strict policies, the most common policy of a business is that they will not give you any credits for your hard work. All the credits of your hardwork will be given to your seniors.
