If ur attitude is all about 'How Much I Earn?' and start being calculative, you won't go too far in your career as employers primarily do not like such calculative behaviour at work.
Well, there is truth in what you said. If you find a company that treats and pays you well, I think you can talk that way, if you somehow find some companies that exploit their employee then you should change the way you think. Most employers (esp chinese companies) are calculative and will find way to exploit you, that's those, you cannot come late but can go back late. Working on weekend and public holiday are necessary to complete your task but not gonna get OT paid for that.
Not to mention, life is hard and people need to pay bills ... no point to become a manager level if you can't support your own living.
You cannot work forever ... with a the debts on car and house ... you will need to work till you are 55th to finish the loan, and for the rest of the days, you will need to live moderately with no sparks in life.
So all I can say is, You treat me well, I treat you well ...

I always say to the HR, if the company treasures me, there is no point I will leave the company.
