You commit a fallacy here because your comment (as well as the one it's in reply to) assumes that work is rewarded proportionally to its value. No, I nor my comment don't assume any such thing. You commit a fallacy by assuming that because I do not think people should expect work to be rewarded in proportion to how hard it is that therefore I think work is rewarded in proportion to how valuable it is. If only. Work is perhaps more likely to be rewarded based on greater value, but one has to make the case for the reward. Most of the time claiming "It's hard" as the reason will not get you much reward. If you have the bargaining power to get paid more, you get paid more regardless of your contributions. No kidding; this is part of my point. Unfortunately there are cultural tropes that keep people from learning this sooner rather than later.
