Why do many companies have so much work intensity and low wages?

There are many reasons why many companies have high work intensity but low wages:

The pressure of market competition is great, and the wages of industries are generally low: now the market competition of all walks of life is fierce, and the wages of industries are generally low. Even in high-paying industries, employees need to make more efforts and time to get higher returns.

The company is small or in the growth stage, and the welfare benefits are relatively poor: some small enterprises or start-ups often have weak welfare benefits. In order to attract and retain talents, the company may adopt some high-intensity work arrangements to achieve business growth as soon as possible.

Improper management: Some companies may have problems of improper management, such as the unreasonable evaluation and management of the workload and quality of employees, which leads to excessive work pressure of employees, but the salary level is not high.

Unreasonable employee performance appraisal: Some companies may conduct unscientific and reasonable employee performance appraisal, resulting in inconsistency between employee performance and salary, thus affecting employees' work enthusiasm and job satisfaction.

It should be pointed out that not all companies have these problems. In some mature and standardized enterprises, the salary level is relatively high and the welfare benefits are relatively generous. In addition, the performance of employees will also affect the salary level. If employees can give full play to their abilities and potentials and get better performance appraisal, their salary level will be improved accordingly.
