I mean, it won't. The study with the most positive outcome that I was able to find still makes it look, on average, like a sucker's game. Working ~10% harder earns you a 1% raise. https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/669971 https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/669971 I suppose one mitigating factor is that the raises might compound, so that, after 20 or 30 years, the person who's working 50 hour weeks will still be stressed out, but they're at least more likely to be stressed out while on a boat.
