It's frustrating, but it's just life. Everyone is trying to get much and give little. You probably compare quotes for major expenses, rather than just pick a competent provider and pay their price, no questions asked. Or, for a better analogy, query a quote for a new service / good against what you paid for the last one.
Work is a negotiated exchange of labour for money. Both parties try to negotiate and get ahead, in ways benign and not benign.

I'm (poorly) suggesting there that it's detrimental to the company to treat employees as an adversarial relationship because the company will have a greater net benefit from treating employees well and compensating based on worth rather than minimum bid amount.
