> You should maximize your income while minimizing efforts that take you away from living your life

You should maximize long term net worth, which often is in conflict with maximizing near term income. One can argue net worth is also correlated with compounding knowledge which is itself anti-correlated with "minimizing effort".

This whole viewpoint of work as a simple transaction hurts employees' long term prospects.
