> Number 3 is pretty rediculous. I don't think I've ever seen another company try to claim that they are doing employees a favor by paying them less money than their peers.

I've heard it used in the context of US government work. (They simply don't want people who are "in it for the money"). I don't know if that's based on studies or just a feeling.

Huh? For government jobs, people are in it for the healthcare and the pension.

Pensions don't exist anymore, you get a savings account (403b IIRC) w/ some % matching contrib
