The idea that the employer just needs to incentivise the employee the right way is absurd. Why is that absurd? Who would work at a job if they aren't incentivized the right way? My employer incentivizes me with a salary and interesting work. Take either of those away and I'll look for a new job. For "Jean", then interesting (or otherwise rewarding) work is the only way to incentivize her.
