Why would something like this have a threshold?

    If anything it's more important for specialised jobs, if you can't change jobs to a competitor you are stuck with whatever bullshit your current employer throws at you, and specialised roles have a lot fewer alternatives to choose from

    Threshold should be at least 5x average full time salary and indexed yearly.
