If you feel underpaid should you still work like nothing is bothering you? Personally I do for the simple fact every is replaceable at the end of the day. Should we put the effort in or not?

Do you “feel” underpaid or “know” you’re underpaid?

Of course you should put in the effort. Know what's worse than being underpaid? Not being paid. If you're willing to lose your job, by all means, phone it in. If not, keep plugging away.

I work to the best of my ability. My work is a reflection of me. Underpaid based on where I live no, I make twice the average person here. Underpaid based on people in other areas, who are doing the same job, yes, but I also know they are paying 2-3 times in rent to stay and work in that area. I do what is expected of me. I do not try to meet any certain goal, but i exceed them wo trying. It is just my work ethic

Two choices:
1. Find a new job where you feel justly compensated
2. Lower your effort to match what you see as your lower pay and find out how quickly that replaceable thing comes to fruition

I'd vote for option 1 (plus, going with option 2 and getting let go won't get you a good recommendation letter for your next job)
