I think if there were a clear path to increased salary that came with the job, people wouldn't milk benefits but would start down the path that leads to growth. So I think OP is dressing it up to show that in the absence of a path towards growth, people just milk benefits.

Thank you for actually putting an explanation forward. One day, I hope to own a business and want to treat all my employees with dignity and respect. Knowing that people need a prospect of growth from their employer is incredibly useful to hear. Obviously, the policies associated with "paying more" and "provide growth opportunities" are entirely different.
