Assessment at hiring time does not always show that a worker deserves to be paid an appreciable amount more, but a worker in the workforce for a while has likely established himself as deserving of more money. But straight out of the college starting gate, this might not be the case.

Whether or not he deserves it, an employee who appears to work below his potential will often be the first let go when business slows down. Maybe that's not fair, but I have been in the workforce for 22 years and have seen it.

I agree that subjective grading in an English class is appropriate. It is a fallacy to believe that an employer will value average work from a clearly above-average worker the same as average work from an average or below-average worker. Employers perceive abilities when they hire you, and working below their perceptions is always a risk. That is why enhancing a resume to get a job is a bad idea. I have seen workers fired for not meeting the hiring interviewers perceptions of what he could do.
