I used to work at a place that did this and know other people that have too. Not necessarily over job titles, but generally pushing people out over stupid shit to keep salaries low.

I just can’t imagine that is more profitable in the long run. The overhead of constantly training new people has to cost more than giving raises..

They didn't train them. Just gave them a book on SQL Server and wanted them to be a DBA. So we had database problems. I had to fix the programming issues as a super debugger but spaghetti code is hard to fix esp when it isn't documented.
