Are you going to tell me I'm not worthy of reaping the reward for working that hard?
And if not, how much less hard should I be working?
I'll be awaiting your reply. I want to know how much less hard I need to be working to achieve the goals you have for me.

It is not a matter of personal morality. We can say that a society working together has an average wage. The people earning less are being underpaid and those more overpaid. Some of this will reflect that some are lazy, unproductive, stupid or talented, hard working etc... but if a person is taking more than 10 times the average wage we can assume they are being paid more than they are creating due to their specific position in society.
What you do with the excess money is also important, and whether you support people who fight for a better more just society
