 yes

the inefficency is really frustrating, especially regarding opportunity cost regarding potential revenue from the company's eyes and potential development from the employee's eyes

 One of the key issues for me is that most workers prefer a stable (low) pay every month rather than a variable pay proportional to the company's current revenue.

Seemingly everyone prefers to rent-seek and sit around 8 hours per day doing the bare minimum. The incentives are so broken.

 yep

why would you punish a worker giving you the answer in 30 minutes, and make him spend hours upon hours on it on paper to get the same reward for it
