And I have a somewhat different view of employers and the employed. Business owners are entitled to their own compensation and the profits of the company. Labor, arguably the most important factor of production, helps to create wealth for the organization; it does not *take* the employer's money.
*24 years in the Navy-salty language the norm. Also I suspect coal miners don't “watch them grammar” much.
Yes, I understand the semantics of the employer/employee relationship - and I concur. Though admittedly, if I’m in the position of having me and my business embarrassed by an employee’s actions, then I might very well think of it differently in that instant!
