Infuriating. Then give me 1/? Of the company profits and I'll perform like I have an actual stake.

Exactly, then you just return by saying:

"Great, so start the paperwork for my cut of the profits, since I'm such a valued part of the company that you feel comfortable asking me to make sacrifices for it."

I've been hit with that line as a blue collar worker at several places and I just have a good laugh while they're standing there and just go on doing my job. I don't even dignify that nonsense with a response any more.

"Best" thing I ever heard was when I worked at a botanical store. This 19 year old coworker came up to me during break and told me she was quitting due to starting college again. Our boss had told her he'd be paying out all her overtime as discount certificates for the store. Not even gift certificates, but discounts. Considering we worked 12 hour days, 6 days a week, that was a lot of money he was trying to screw her out of. She was so confused and inexperienced at dealing with scumbags which lead her to take the offer until she told me about it and I told her to march into his office, demand actual payment and threaten to call the cops on him.
