It's only their preferences that are bounding their salaries in those cases. At some point, a polite manager is worth more than X more in compensation. The type of person who becomes a top programmer tends to value being in an environment conducive to being a better programmer, because that's how you get to be among the best. So many naturally tend to value productivity enhancing perks more than comp at the upper end.

A good boss isn't a benefit that can be awarded or revoked by the company. Sometimes money isn't enough to induce employees to remain in a bad environment or leave a good environment for a bad one, but normally a decent manager is expected and taken for granted, and if salaries are "bounded" below market that employer is dead meat.
- bruxis 9y agoI just want to note the caveat here that an extremely polite boss is by no means guaranteed to be a good boss.
