Ephesians 6:1, Luke 6:25
In these verses it seems like the right attitude for christians in the workplace is to sell it cheap, to work as hard as possible even when its not fair because God would compensate for it. This is an ommition of the message of the Gospel. To do our work as if we do it for God means we should do it as if we were not doing it for men but for God, and God is good.
Is it good to sell things below cost? Is it good to mutilate your competition from the economy in hostility while making the market or the costumers accustomed to the wrong prices? Is it good to indirectly accumulate the potential for turmoil for other businesses because one day there should be a significant price corrections in the future?
So pay attention to the contracts that you're making. Yes sometimes it is required for us to sell it cheap, like in the times of war, or in the times of crisis, but it should be temporary in nature. I believe it is Christian-like to obey your contracts, if you've been snared with the words of your mouth be humble and stay obedient, say for example you've made a fair agreement in the beginning but little that you know your employer knew that a quantitative easing was coming, making your remunerations below par in the face of inflation. In this situation it is virtuous and Christian-like to honor our contracts, but it would be good or better to set ourselves free even though through humbleness and mourning.
Furthermore since Jesus received a feast held by Zacheus the tax collector did it mean that Jesus would not be rewarded for his time with Zacheus anymore in heaven? Would Jesus not be rewarded anymore for the portion of His deeds that had been reciprocated by the people in the mount of olives? Wouldn't the disciples be rewarded no more for they had eaten and drunk? (when they were scrutinized in comparison to the disciples of John).
In here we know that the meaning of "The greatest in the Kingdom of God are those that are like children" means not merely/only "Those that had not received their rewards in this world", but those that are willing to go the length of working on eternal assets, assets that lasts forever (they are actually the "children"). Yes injustice that had been inflicted on people is a type of asset, because it would be compensated by God, that is our faith, but greater than that is the eternal goodness we managed to put in history despite whether or not we had been "compensated" for them or had not (by the standard of the world). Our going concern is forever and the way the world to account for profit based on a limited time frame of revenue - costs is too narrow, if we had made eternal assets, it is always going to be injustice for us in this world, for as long as the world is too scarce to be able to address it, they would always do us as the afflicted ones.
So in here I say working on eternal assets, such as promoting the Spirit of Truth as God (Jordan Peterson), making the public smarter of the Truthful wisdom of physics (Walter Lewin), may not appear to be of those equal to the glory of facebook or google or microsoft, those that had been greatly rewarded, but such things are not to be underestimated especially for you Christians.
At the end of the day Whatsapp being gratis might had hindered similar applications from being popular, it may not be the complete carbon copy of what should be in the Kingdom of God's economy, but as long as we keep on improving, the benefits are going to outweigh the problems. Just, as Christians, have the understanding and the concern of what is meritable, virtuous, right, sustainable vs what is dangerous and should be solved before we got into some work agreements.
