Saw my most recent paycheck and decided I’ll put less effort in

I like my job cause it’s what I want to do career wise and I enjoy it as much you can really enjoy most jobs (IT support office job) and my coworkers are great. That being said the pay is horrible. When first hired I was putting in so much effort as you’d expect and just enjoying it. Then I got lazier/more comfortable at the job and lately have been burnt out so my effort and actual working hours reduced. Today was pay day and I got one of my smallest checks (pay period was shorter) and realized that it just isn’t right. So now I’m going to purposefully work less to aide in the burnout but also because I’m not valued. If before I go to a different company they decide to bump me up a lot I’ll work more but until then….
