High salaries are part of the grift.
Makes you look really successful (they pay a lot, so they must be super profitable!) and helps, at least partially, select employees who won’t be asking questions, just do their job and collect paychecks.

- TrainedMonkey 3y agoHigh salaries makes people want to work there which creates competition which in turn drives prestige. Not asking questions is a little facetious, however it is plausible that things like questionable business practices are easier to overlook when working / applying for a job because $$$. In other words, it's very hard to explain a concept to someone if his livelihood depends on him not understanding it.

- justapassenger 3y ago"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it." is not a quote I've invented. Now apply that to getting way above the market salary. Yes, most of the people don't question how ethical their jobs are. But you make them even less likely to do that if you throw money at them.
