I think there's a missing piece in the puzzle: the type of team either C1 or C2 would join. If C1 is used to a certain way of doing things, they might not fit very well in a chaotic team without structure. On the other way C2 might feel stifled in a structure that's too rigid. But maybe both have adaptable personalities and would thrive either way.
My personal experience is that payment is not the biggest motivator. Yes, maybe 5 times more than the previous salary IS a motivator but if the environment is not the right one they will probably complain at some point.
So, probably taking that into account you can understand if C1 is better or if C2 is better.
Lets assume that both are very adaptable and C1 would be joining a team that he is used to, and C2 will be joining a better organized team so I don't consider it will have any negative effect to either one, that is why I did not mention it in my scenario.
Payment is not the motivator per se but if one has to overwork on their job and the money is not enough they might have to work on other extra jobs and certainly and on the end they are not as productive/efficient as they can not give the amount of detail needed for each task/project.
This is how I see C2 in the extreme scenario above.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
