Until today, I tried to think about my productivity as an advantage.

      In the end, it is the social value of your role what you get paid for, not your real productivity. Maybe not so much back in time, but as time passes and more efficiency is introduced in the economy by means of automation the less important is real productivity for your income.

        Lol. Your pay is dependant on how much value your bosses/company thinks can be extracted from your labor.

        There are plenty of jobs that have social value (i.e. Teachers, Fire Fighters, etc) that don’t get paid high wages.
