I got a deal where in addition to my salary I get a share of revenues due to intellectual property I create. My salary is not so exciting, but that 30% of IP revenues is really sweet. But when tallying my royalty checks, they seemed light by about an eighth. It turns out that somehow the CEO, COO, and CFO were cut in.

At first I was real angry about this. But then I stumbled on this thread and you guys made me feel much better. I now realize that it is for my own good. I had thought that I was the one working to make it possible for money to go into their three pockets; and now I realize that they are really working for me, helping me to make money.

You guys are the best. I never would have come to this conclusion on my own. I feel like the luckiest worker on the face of the Earth.
