Outside of stealing from other people, how would people make a living that dont own a company?
If being an employee is exploitation, how else would they earn money that doesnt involve stealing from a person to give them money?
Your questions makes no sense to me, but assuming good faith on your part you seem to be asking:
How else can you earn money, apart from stealing from another person, if being an employee makes you subject to exploitation?
There are different ways to organize a workplace.
The crux of this question however is the (undemocratic) relation between employee and employer.
You’re only getting hired in any privately run company if you produce more value for the company than they pay you. (e.g. You earn X Dollar per month, but you make more than X Dollars per month for the company). This is true for every employee. While everyone contributes to the success of the company, noone has a say in how, when, how long, etc. the work can be done, and especially no say how profits (or “Surplus value” for marxists) are used and shared. It’s not necessarily a problem per say (any type of organization requires some form of authority), but it’s a problem when you entire or majority of the economy is organized in this way.

state-owned firms: Examples are United States Postal Service (USPS) and here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-owned_enterprises_of_the_United_States best if you google it altogether.
