Decent companies will correct this, mediocre companies will exploit this. Decent companies don’t want to turn a new employee bitter and so will resolve this; not always by paying it, but definitely by taking it seriously. Compromises are always possible. If it wasn’t a huge hiring bonus or something like that, the better companies will just pay it to keep the new employee happy.
