The basic strategy is this: if I can work lazily at 20% the output and get a middle-class lifestyle at 80% my salary. Why would I bother to be better if the only companies from the west are here to cheap out on talent? I can always go work for a new “revolutionary” company that is trying to outsource their talent and barely do any work all over again.

There definitely do exist such people, can't deny reality here. But again, this happens everywhere and is hardly exclusive to Eastern Europe -- at least I've met slackers and seat-warmers of 7+ different nationalities over the course of my career.
