Not all organizations behave that way, though. If you reword my comment to indicate the company attitudes themselves, it still largely holds true.

I confess to a selection bias, because I won't work at a company that doesn't behave that way. Life is too short for that BS. However, that I maintain employment at the expected pay rates while doing so indicates that there are a lot of companies who don't behave the way you describe.

All that said, I certainly don't deny that there are also a lot of companies who do behave as you describe.
