Honestly no the older I get the more I am against 'rewarding hard work' because in praxis it always comes down to people getting pressured to do things that will inevitably fuck over their body or cause other complications down the line. Construction workers that 'work hard' by carrying two sacks of cement instead of just the one then later complaining about back problems or slipping and seriously injuring themselves. People working shifts without proper periods between them wrecking their sleep hygenie and getting astronomically higher stroke risk as a result the list goes on. Workplace injuries and complications are almost always down to either social pressure to 'work hard and hustle' or a shitty boss that just ignores labour laws.
It's not on workers to work harder it's on management to hire more people.
