First - side point - I didn't indicate that people should be outputting 'maximum work quality effort'. Just 'Doing A Good Job'.
Second - more salient - yes, comp is a big factor, I understand that, but it's a little bit of a marginal issue among professionals.
For workers who can reasonably negotiate a salary beyond the prevailing labour wage, it should be assumed they have market value commensurate on some level with their value.
Corporations are not some vast powerful entities that absorb all the surpluses for their shareholders. It's risky for them.
I would argue that White Collar professionals are in fact absorbing most of the surpluses.
Google could lay off 1/2 it's staff and still make just as much money.
Your point becomes much more relevant when the power asymmetry is stark, when employees have no differentiable skills or power like Amazon employees.
For them, yes, it's a different discussion around regulations, unions etc. and only when those basics are satisfied would it be fair to implore workers to consistently 'Do A Good Job'. But for processionals, it should be a matter of very basic integrity.
