the owner’s personal funds and the company’s funds are supposed to be separate
True for larger companies, not true for smaller start-ups without large funding backing them - at least not in most european countries I’ve been to.
And even for larger private companies - it’s still the owners money. He can take money from the company at any time or just outright liquidate it.
The value and utility of the company come from them as much as from the owner–or more, in many cases. That’s literally why a company would want to employ multiple people.
True, but the actual question is, could the individual employee produce the same output without the companies resources? For most people, this would be a no, because if they could, they’d all be freelancers and make three times the money they make as employee - that’s what happens in IT.
A dude operating a machine for 8 hours a day is not entitled to the profit he makes since he could not do said work without the machine.
