I think in the vast majority of non-management roles, if people got paid more they would be happy to overlook the shortcomings of their position.
Hmm let's see:

Get paid 6-figures to sit your ass at home and post on RS half the time take 2 hour lunch breaks, watch Netflix,etc.

OR

Get paid a little under 6-figures (with OT) and risk getting a nasty virus/assaulted/cleaning up people's excrement/watch people break down/watch people die.

I don't you know about you but how much are you willing to pay for #2 for it to sound attractive? How much are you willing to see your taxes go up? God bless the nurses in the profession and the ones coming up but a big nuh-uh for me or anyone in the same household as me.

You could pay me 300K/year and give me a free house in Shaughnessy and I'd still have to think about it.
