Job is an acronym for “Just Over Broke!”

The wealthy usually became so by being entrepreneurs. You are unlikely to get rich by having a job.
However, in the 21st century there is a reasonable minimum expectation that any job will enable a person to survive, as in pay for accommodation, food, clothing, medical treatment, car, the occasional vacation, etc. It should not be necessary for the job holder to have to deplete savings and thereby subsidise the employer. Regrettably that situation exists far too often in aviation.
Bottom-feeding companies that exploit employees do not deserve any respect. We should all work to improve the situation and weed out such operators. Apart from employee treatment, another reason is safety. If they are prepared to be cheap and cut corners with employees then it is a fair and reasonable assumption that they are likely to do the same in other areas, such as maintenance, operating procedures, overloading, etc.
