The beauty of capitalism is that employment is a mutual agreement. If an employee feels he’s not earning what he’s worth, he can quit and get hired by the company that is willing to pay him what he thinks he’s worth. If no other employer will pay him what he thinks he’s worth, then he overvalued himself.
But for a lot of people.. their trade/career exists in one factory/office in their area. The reason people stay in shite jobs for shite pay is because they don't have the means to take a risk and leave.. they have to provide for their family.. or their wife would have to leave her job too. Homes crop up around places of employment and that can tilt the balance massively in favor of the employer.
But really when you look at capitalism like you do.. it would also be true that the employees goal should be to do as little work as possible while being friendly and just productive enough to maintain your reputation, keep opportunities elsewhere available, and avoid poor performance marks at work. Both sides trying to rip each other off.
I'll stick to civil service I think

Actually, when you look at capitalism like I do, you take a job (entry level of need be) with a company that has opportunities for advancement. You work hard to earn promotions, so you can make more money and give yourself management experience that you may one day take with you should you decide to explore other opportunities.
All of which is what I did in my 20’s when I worked for a family owned business in Texas.
