Why? They are getting double the average janitor salary. Why would they want to leave?

Because then you break the rule of 'everyone must be excellent'. In a room full of geniuses, do many people choose to mop the floor?

But obviously if you're an excellent janitor, you're not breaking the rule, right?

Also, I don't see anything wrong with choosing to mop the floor - especially if you're really good at it.
