Capitalism is rigged. The whole system is rigged. There is nothing wrong with you; you’re doing your best in a game rigged against you, probably not enough people tell you that.
Hiring workers at an agreed-upon price, without hammering them down or nickel-and-dime-ing them on the price, is business. That’s the worker’s job, how they make their living. *Forcing* someone to work at *below* market price, whether by shaming or lying about need or some other form of pressure, would be exploitation. Yes, I have a regular cleaning service, and yes I pay the price that THEY asked, and I don’t argue about the annual price increases.
