Obviously it's attractive to a new hire. Which is why it's wrong. The company is giving money that should be going to everyone to people that aren't even here.

You may be thrilled about 30 bucks an hour now, but a few years down the line you're going to realize your future was mortgaged for Esau's bowl of soup!
