It's an optical illusion: the salary sticks are the same size.

The sticks are the same size but the perspective makes it look different

I think it's an optical illusion, the tree is the same size

They're the same size, and only the perspective of the lines around them make the "overtime" one seem bigger. It's an allegory for the fact that corporations don't appreciate "hard work" and that you giving your life to them isn't going to make you rich, just them and you can get fucked.

they pay you in sticks

The core of the meme is that the sticks/trees are the same size. It's merely the perspective trickery that confuses your mind into thinking one may be bigger than the other.

This plays on the fact that the idea of working harder than you should = more money is presented as fact by some people/organizations/cultures.

They are the same size. It is an optical illusion.
