As a programmer with more than a decade of experience, I got a variant of this principal watching newly-minted and utterly useless CS graduates get hired with a salary higher than mine. Only remedy was to quit and go work somewhere else.

In the software industry you're supposed to go get a new job every year or two until you're making what you want. That's how you get raises. It's dumb.
