Hard work is rewarded with additional responsibilities and tasks for no additional benefit. What is the point?

Later on: the employee who does extra work will make the employee who does the bare minimum getting fired, but he doesn't get a wage increase. He will however complain about "lazy" people like immigrants, the disabled, etc. instead.
