You'd outsource your job to someone else in order to work more on the off chance that your employer will pay you more in the future?

Which they probably won't as most jobs are only marginally performance based.

Seems mighty odd to me.

Not on the off-chance, I know for a fact. I have received regular pay rises and bonuses during my time there and I am rewarded fairly in that regard.

That and I recently approached my employer about what it would take to double my salary, which originated from a simple curiosity rather than burning desire. It was a productive conversation and told me that if I continue to improve as I do, I will be rewarded for it.

As I said, it depends on the employer. I have to add that I don't see my employer as just my boss but also a mentor and sometimes even a friend. I trust him and I have very good reason to.

Edit: also, I wouldn't just outsource my job. I would continue to do similar work myself but I could plough through more in the same or less time.
