Employees involved in intellectual endeavour need to be beholden to the
employer at all times since the employee might have ideas useful to the
employer at any time. This is a complicated issue and extreme positions are
not helpful.  But everyone to their own.

This is why permissive software licences were invented, so people would do
lots of work on FOSS and then companies could use it for their own money
making purposes without any thought of paying anyone anything.

Salaries are like that, employers own you 24/7.

It's all about supply and demand in this currently capitalist world. You can
bet there will be someone who will do it even if you won't. How else do the
"sweat shops" work.

Openness, compromise, accommodation, and collaboration work best in what is a
fundamentally combative, us vs them economic system.
