People who do not accept this will be perpetually unhappy
or they go start their own business to get away from this nonsense.
when i deal with clients i actually have to deliver something because i am not getting any promotions.

I'm not saying that any one individual can't find a job that is the unique perfect blend of incentives for them, indeed, the entire point of this framework is that alignment between your goals and the incentives of your job is the most powerful lever an employee can pull. But that incentive structure will necessarily make others working there deeply unhappy as its unique choice of tradeoffs is just shitty in a way invisible to you.
that's fair, because i also have the power to fire them.
loosing one client when i have a dozen others is not a big deal.
with so many bosses i can focus on the good ones and reject working with the bad ones. i can also unilaterally raise my fees, especially for bad clients.
