What you're talking about used to be discussed a lot. You can go to Wikipedia, or elsewhere, and read about relations of production, alienation, the expropriation of surplus labor time and what have you.

In the past, those who work organized around these issues, discussed them and had a common philosophy and so forth.

Those benefiting from your labor broke up or supplanted these organizations and now have control of the discourse. Many workers feel as you do, but the ones who benefit from exploiting you have been fairly successful from isolating you from the many who feel as you do.

I would suggest reading about the subject, then seeking out and dipping your toe in local organizations which deal with such things.

There have been times when I received more than a fair share of the value that I created, because I was well paid, but the company wasn't profitable. Oddly, I felt more alienated then, because I felt like what I did didn't matter (at least not enough to make us profitable).
