You make it sound like some sort of a gotcha. The maximum employees agree to pay for the work one is capable and willing to do, what's the problem with that? It applies within tech too. E.g. I had a referral from a former coworker for a job they think I would be great at, and I'm pretty sure I could make quite a bit more money. But, in private conversations they told me they work 995, so that is a consideration. I don't want to work 995, so I didn't even bother applying; should the govt give me some money to compensate for my (relative) laziness?
