    Discovered something fun this week, in Norwegian the word for employer is “work-giver”, but a bit of digging revealed that the alternative “work-buyer” existed but went out of use. I think people would sell their time and labor for more if the wording more clearly revealed the actual relationship.

      In English I feel like the proper word would be “exploiter”/“exploited”
