Isn't this also true for anyone that has to pay money to commute to work?

The difference is that your own workplace isn't charging you money. Imagine if your boss said "hey, there's a spot for some overtime work this weekend, the first person to pay me $100 gets it". Would that be OK?
Or food to have energy to work, or clothes to not be ridiculed by your peers, or shelter to be well rested so you can maximize shareholder value?
