This is still the land of opportunity. And nobody is stopping people from working weekends, holidays, etc. for no pay just to move ahead in a company.
But only a very, very few ever do.
The rest just do their tasks and go home.

Nobody is saying a guy who moves boxes and crates around should get the same pay as the guy who started the company. That's ridiculous. But a company that can't afford to pay above poverty level wages is one that can't afford to do business.
You know, don't you, that YOUR tax dollars subsidize Walmart payroll? Because they're paid so little, Walmart employees rely heavily on food stamps and "free" health care clinics. Walmart appreciates your generosity. It's not like they can afford to shoulder those costs on their own.
