As I noted, I wasn't critiquing you.

I don't know what you do, and all good work should be rewarded, but in most work third parties, such as customers or others benefit from work well done.

But I strongly share your opinion that good work should be matched with proportional compensation.

I had a similar problem. I was compensated well for what I could achieve, as a partner to a company, but after many good years, asymptotically prevented from achieving anything. The irony of being bought out of a contract for a price that reflected how much I could no longer achieve in those circumstances wasn't lost on me.
