Of course people shouldn’t be paid more just because they spend more time in the office. But if they also get more done, and learn more, then what’s wrong with that leading to better pay and more opportunities?

If you value other things over work but are incapable of making that choice if others are rewarded for hard work, then that’s your problem. Seek therapy or something.

We can't even reward people correctly for effort in the real world, that's why you need to spend time marketing your success on top of the actual effort of doing them, and why people are so wedded to hours spent on task rather than any real life metric of success.

Please dont mess up the lives of people who live in the real world for something that barely works in theory.

Again: If you can’t make your life choices in line with your values if there are incentives for hard work, then that’s your problem.
