"You hire someone for what they can bring to the table not how much you can profit off them."

Not sure if I agree with this naive view. Yes, you hire people and give them what they want in exchange for work but at the end of the day, I am absolutely trying to save money as a company and increase profits as long as I am doing it reasonably.

fascinating how people come to the defense of corporations like this.

why? do you feel that someday you'll be in their shoes and have the power to dictate salaries?

you are likely a worker like everyone else here. demand better.

You don’t have to like it, or harbor power fantasies, to be realistic about how supply and demand works out.
