Apparently you've never been part of the advertisement world or know anyone in it. I have friends in the industry with numerous stories even worse than this. The things apparently that some companies will do to pull in clients is pretty astounding. |

It's not just advertising. I'd wager it happens many if not most places where there are contracts to be awarded or specific talent to be retained.
I'd imagine that the folks expressing disbelief are either inexperienced or so obviously 'square' that they're kept totally in the dark about such things.
I've seen one place where it was nearly a standard of 'culture fit'.
Note: I don't mean to condone this sort thing, just to bear witness to its prevalence.
