This is some libertarian “be your own boss” bullshit
The salary is the least amount of money they think they can pay you to work, but the problem is not the work itself. It’s the “money required to survive” aspect.
Well you don’t need money at all to survive, you can just go into the woods and forage and survive that way, but it turns out it’s a lot of work, dangerous and not very effective, so people prefer living in a comfy place, and have comfy stuff and have readily available access to food and other services, but someone has to make that happen it’s not free and you doing adhoc tasks in exchange as in barter is just not effective and thus we have an introduced and intermediary thing called money, where you exchange your time for money and then you can exchange your money for goods and services.
Now how we do this, aka capitalism is largely terrible as it rewards already having or accumulating capital ( as the name suggests) but that doesn’t mean that money as it is, is somewhat terrible.
☝️🤓 actually people survived before money ! Fool !
Lemme go tell my 80 year old grandma on a fixed income to go forage instead of heading to Albertsons.
Money is required for survival in any nation where you’re getting a salary for your work. Dying 40 years early because your body gives out from giardia isn’t surviving.
Thats not completely true, usually they pay people less then what they need to survive so people are desperate enough to do overtime and overnight shifts.
Which is what the original poster said, the amount of money is the issue. And boy is it, there’s nothing quite as depressing as going to work every single day and wondering why you even bother. Makes ya reeeeeal productive, too, being distracted and unmotivated.

You work every day so the capitalist can hoard an obscene amount of wealth like a dragon
That happens constantly with hourly workers, slightly less so with salaried.
