Industries promote this, especially the publicly traded ones, whether they realize it or not (I'm sure they do). It looks worse on a corporate balance sheet and subsequent earnings quarterly earnings report to pay someone 20% more than to hire someone at a new pay scale. It's absolutely insane that we've gotten ourselves to this point as a society, but here we are.
Yup. I obviously don't hate the people doing this, quite the opposite if anything, but it's so silly that it's a thing in the first place.
