    Psst!

    Its because they don’t want to raise their pay, and also want the employee to blame themselves for not getting the pay raise/promotion instead of their greedy employer.

    But don’t tell anyone. Its a secret!

      another reason I heard is it’s also another tool to give the company wiggle room to say they’re not in the best state they could be, that there’s still room for growth. under the current system, companies have to keep growing and keep appearing to have the potential for growth, or die
