Nope. The issue is the conflating of “boss” and “the business”. My boss does plenty of work. On average, my boss does as much work as I do, some days more, some days less.
My boss is also an employee whose excess value is siphoned off by the business in the form of corporate profits.
Most “bosses” are also someone else’s employee and I think people often forget that…at least here on lemmy. If the OP meant CEO they should have said that. Unless you’re a senior VP your boss is probably not the CEO of a giant corporation, your boss is probably just some guy trying to survive just like you.
And beyond that, the CEO is usually also an employee, just one that is usually well positioned to benefit from structural defects in the system.
The system is setup such that the exploitation, lesser or greater, is structural, rather than always able to be traced to an individuals choices or actions.
Even in a “perfect” company, where everyone makes the best choice available to them, the system is built such that people just can’t get a fair deal in anything except for the rarest of circumstances.
Are you working exclusively for startups?

Yeah, you’re right. When I first saw “Boss” I thought of CEO.
Not at all.
