wage tax

The money a person earns for their company that they aren't paid.

"I made GE 2 million by inventing a new process for distributing power."
"How much did you make for doing that?"
"My salary is $200,000 a year."
"So basically GE taxed you 90% of the money you made them."
"Yeah, I guess I paid some sort of wage tax."

wage theft

When your employer/boss/manager breaks the law by not paying you all you're entitled to get. Not paying overtime, not paying minimum wage, deducting money from your paycheck, not reimbursing you for expenses, not paying you on time, paying "under the table", misclassifying you as an independent contractor, etc.

Lisa server broke a couple of bottles when she tripped on the way to the customer's table. At the end of the week, Lisa noticed that her manager deducted the cost of the bottles from her paycheck and remembered about wage theft.

Wage Mom

Wage Mom is used to describe your female boss who cares about you like a mom, but still pays you at the end of the month. It could also be used to ironically make fun of your male boss.

Andrew: "Hey man, wanna meet after work today?"
Bruce: "Sorry man, my wage mom asked me to do overtime."

Hey Fiona, shall we go wage-gapping tomorrow? I'm feeling like having a soy-latte.

wage slave

Is a person with little to no education who works for wages. These people are usually slaves to their employer and have to kiss butt otherwise they will be fired. Being that these people don't have many other job opportunities, they are forced to live the rest of their lives working for wages and being a slave. Their only other option besides being a wage slave is going to jail or becoming homeless. Because they lack job skills, they are very limited in the type of work they can do. Many adults who are wage slaves now, dropped out of school and got caught up in the popularity game. Or they are people who never took school seriously and instead wanted to party like a rockstar. These people are basically the physical labor of this country and if they misbehave at work they are fired. Then they lose their living quarters,cars,family, and their life takes a turn for the worst. Let me mention, that many of these people were born to low to middle class families which is why histroy is repeating itself.
