I worked for big companies in the 80’s and remember profit sharing and Christmas bonuses. Then we had a period of startups with stock options as a huge part of compensation – the idea was you worked 80 hour weeks for modest pay but if the company hit it big your options could be worth a lot.

Most AC/DC and DC/DC power supplies have input/output isolation and neither side of the output grounded unless/until you ground one side. If you ground the - side, then it's referred to as +48V. If you ground the + side, then it's -48V. Fancier equipment with stuff like management interfaces
