In an arena of businesses all over the world, you will find companies on every corner of every town. And wherever there are businesses, there are employees.
Some are responsible, disciplined, and hardworking.
Others are slow, lazy, waste time, and do nothing but talk and text.
Others are slow, lazy, waste time, and do nothing but talk and text.
But here is the real question that no one wants to confront:
Why are the hardest workers the ones carrying home the lightest pay?
Why do people who give their time, energy, and bodies every single day still walk away with crumbs at the end of the week or month?
Why is the hourly rate so low when many employees must take two buses, trains, or taxis just to get to and from work?
By the time their salary hits their hands, half of it is already gone on transportation alone — money they haven’t even had the chance to touch yet.
Everything in business is “evolving,” they say.
But somehow, wages stay stuck in the past.

Let’s call this what it really is:
Modern-day slavery dressed up as employment.
Fueled by greed.
Protected by selfishness.
And normalized by silence.

And normalized by silence.
Businesses make thousands of dollars a day yet still cry poor.
They complain they’re “not making anything,” while quietly designing new schemes to keep wages low and profits high.

Just so the employer can stash money into personal accounts or ship it offshore, while the worker counts coins to survive.
Why can’t some employers actually see the labor their employees put in?
Why is the focus always on how little they can pay instead of how fairly they should pay?
Let’s be honest:
Keeping wages low while profits rise is not smart business; it is a greedy and selfish sin.

Yes, being employed and independent is a good place to start.
But tell me this:
But tell me this:
How is a man or woman supposed to build a life on $6–$8 an hour?
How is a family supposed to eat?
How are bills supposed to be paid?
How is education supposed to continue?
How is anything supposed to grow?
How are bills supposed to be paid?
How is education supposed to continue?
How is anything supposed to grow?
Before most people even receive their salary, it’s already gone.
No savings.
No breathing room.
No future plan.
No savings.
No breathing room.
No future plan.
These wages can’t feed a family.
They can’t cover rent.
They can’t sustain transportation.
They can’t support dreams.
They can’t cover rent.
They can’t sustain transportation.
They can’t support dreams.
And yet employers still act shocked when workers are stressed, exhausted, and mentally drained.
Think about:
• The distance some people travel just to show up early
• The families they are working for
• The bills waiting at home
• The effort they pour into your business every hour

Then look at their paycheck and tell the truth:
Does it match their labor?
Leader's love talking about raising taxes, prices, and procedures.
But nobody talks about raising wages.
But nobody talks about raising wages.
They raise everything that hurts the people
and ignore the one thing that could help them.

Imagine grown men and women going home with children’s wages.
Paychecks that look like they’re meant to buy sweets and candy, not groceries, rent, or dignity.

Hmm.
This system is broken.
And pretending it isn’t… is part of the crime.
