To your Bosses mostly.

We live in a capitalist society, and in such a society a corporation will always attempt to maximize revenue and minimize expenses to ensure maximum profit.

The prices of an hour of your life is baked into their bottom line, and unless you have hard leverage, you will never be able to convince them to cut into their bottom line by paying you a single penny more than they have to on purpose.
