>> Recently I wanted to apply to a company. First they had you read some weird document telling you how they can’t pay high salaries, so you should be modest with your expectations.

My favorite one was an employer who low-balled me for a job in NYC. Then he says "I know people who live in Pennsylvania and commute in [read: the wage doesnt have to be sustenance wage in NYC/suburbs, you can just commute to somewhere far away]." suggesting that one can make budgets work if one tries hard enough.

Then they can hire such people. If they can find enough of them. Or better yet they should move to Pennsylvania as that is where they want to hire people from: they can then hire people who would be willing to work for those wages but are not willing for the commute.
