I think I’d add one more:

Pushing back/ negotiating on the x axis, and salary/ benefits on y, parabola opens down.

Most folks don’t know how to advocate for themselves very well, so they don’t: low salary. But also, nobody likes a nudge. Push too much, or for too long, and, yeah. Nobody wants to deal with you.

But in the middle are folks who know how to make their point, working in a chosen job that understands that these individuals value their own time and ability.
