If you pay me the absolute minimum amount that you're legally required to, I'll do the minimum amount of work I can get away with without being fired.

Imagine your employer paid you a real living wage, gave you fair & paid annual leave, regularly thanked you for your contribution, and generally made you feel valued. You'd respect them and feel pride in your work, you'd definitely be more likely to give 110% effort.

Work culture is rotten, you're just a nobody to your employer. I'm speaking on my own experience anyhow.
