Summary

We’re back with part two of “Do Companies Exploit Their Employees?” In this one, I explain why your problem isn’t exploitation — it’s lack of leverage. When you have no leverage, you get controlled. When you build leverage, no one can exploit you. I talk about what leverage really means, how to create it, and how to make yourself unexploitable by changing your mindset, your actions, and the way you show up in business. Show Notes:  [01:01]#4 Do workers matter? Yes, they do.  [08:07]#5 To remove the cap on your upside, you got to remove your downside.  [12:54]#6 Your problem is you lack leverage.

Today's topic is we are picking up on part two of our two-part miniseries.

0:53.0

Our companies exploiting their workers.

Just go back one episode from when you're listening to this.

1:01.4

We're going to pick it up at point number four, right where we left off yesterday.

1:05.2

And the question of point number four is, do the workers actually matter?

1:08.4

This is often the emotional play, the appeal to emotion dodge that people use when I call them out on the bullshit. And they're saying that companies are exploiting their employees. I usually, if I can come to them with the logic up front and they can see I have the logic, then they'll try to use a red herring and go to a different point that's more emotionally driven. Well, workers matter, don't they? Don't workers matter? Doesn't it matter when you have workers? If you don't have workers, then they wouldn't be any jobs and you get people saying things like this. Workers do matter and workers can be replaced more easily than the owners can be replaced. This is just the reality of the situation. Again, I've had jobs before. I'm a business owner these days, but I've been a worker, and a worker can be replaced more easily than an owner can be replaced. For example, there's a basketball team called the LA Lakers. And for years, they were owned by this guy named Dr. Jerry Buss and his family. They have recently sold a big portion of what they own to another group. But Dr. Bus, let's say he owned the Lakers for about 40 years. Now, let's follow this story that I'm going to tell you. Over these 40 years of owning the Los Angeles Lakers, this guy named Dr. Jerry Buss. Many of you never heard of this guy, but all of you have heard of the Los Angeles Lakers. We've also heard of some of the workers who worked for the Los Angeles Lakers. I'll mention their names and you tell me if you ever heard of any of these guys. Magic Johnson. You heard of him?

2:21.3

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Most of you've heard of him. Kobe Bryant. Almost all you know who he is.

2:27.2

Shaquille O'Neal. They heard of that guy. All of these guys worked for the Los Angeles Lakers.

2:33.3

They drew paychecks from Dr. Jerry Bus and from the Los Angeles Lakers. They drew paychecks from Dr. Jerry
