The way I see it, you don’t have to dislike successful people to dislike business.

Reality time:

Businesses are neither bad nor good, liberal nor conservative. They are entities whose purpose is to make a profit. They harbor no feelings towards their employees, one way or the other. A worker is useful to a business as long as that worker is the most profitable means to an end, and that end is profit.

As long as you understand this, you will not be resentful towards an employer or let it affect your work.

Of course, your loyalty towards a company should only go so far as to not back-stab them or steal their property or time while you are in their employ. But they should mean nothing more to you than a pay check.

I don't resent their salaries, I don't like that the business takes up most of, if not their whole time awake. They practically breathe, eat and sleep either convertibles, or banking, or whatever else. That is the reason I don't like the business, is that I feel it will turn me into a mindless drone, despite having to keep up with the ever-changing market.
