You're entitled to what you agree to work for because that is basically the amount of leverage you bring to the table. At any point if it isn't worth it you can leave. This is all really very simple

If you have a house you want to sell and you hire a guy to paint it for 2 Grand and he's happy with that rate, you're happy with that rate, and it ends up getting you an extra 15k when you sell the house, have you robbed him?

Why does leverage entitle you to anything? If you have leverage you don't need to be entitled to something, your leverage just gets it for you.

@ Batlord

That's sorta what I mean though as far as the job market goes, what you have coming to you is what you can force them to give you.

And btw you didn't answer my question. Surprise, surprise.

@ elph

My dad specifically negotiated contracts with home owners in just this fashion. Either answer the question or don't. It's getting a bit tiring answering all your questions just to have you dodge mine

I mean in this case "entitled" is a synonym for "deserving" which gives this issue a moral implication and not simply one of leverage.

Because I didn't really read it cause I didn't care.
