>the employers would simply be glad to pay them based on their productivity Based on...? What employer do you know of that just willingly offers employees raises for no reason other than "you're producing more for the company so here's some free cash"? The only role I'm aware of at most companies that directly ties your output to your income is sales, and even that can be sketchy depending on where you work and how transparent they are with the financials. Most publicly traded company's goals are to pay you as little as possible to retain you.
