Right. I'll try one more time: this thread is about caring to do a good job. People move to London, try to do a good job, find that they'll never be properly rewarded for going the extra mile, give up, and do a shit job going forward.

They still feel better off than doing a shit job in the countryside, otherwise they'd move there. But the question we are discussing is: "Why don't people care about doing a good job?"

Yes someone could care very much about securing a job making all sorts of promises, and then start phoning it in after securing it.

I don’t see how one relates to the other, I wasn’t questioning the latter point? It’s undoubtedly the case for many.
