Relatedly, in theory it also makes it much easier for a worker in a "local maxima" of doing a job they dislike inefficiently so long as checks get cleared more of an incentive to quit on their own decision and find a better personal "efficiency" for their labor if they feel much more comfortable that they have a safety net if they decide to seek new options.

I like my job well enough and it pays well, but I eye climate.careers and my own side project meant to help address climate breakdown every day.

Yet I also have bills to pay and kids to feed, so they languish. This would help.
