That's what I think, too. The main issue to me is that every salary negotiation becomes tri-party, and every party has different interests. What's more surprising to me, though, is that there actually are many companies that will go this route. They're paying basically twice the salary of any given person. I know many people try to avoid increasing payroll, which is often the reason given, but you'd think after a few years, when you know the employee does the job well enough, you might want to save some change.
