My company was never able to pay the people what they were worth, but yes, I have great hopes that some of the people we employed went on to better [paid] things, with my small help

Amen!
Reminds me of one guy in my team. He's half swedish and half russian, and has lived his entire life in sweden. He was fired because of him being half russian. The company even said so.
He called me and asked me for advice, and I told him that he was in the right, told him to threaten some union action, and not accept the first bid from the company.
In the end he got 4 or 5 months salary, and I was also his reference, so after a few months he landed a job with about a 30% higher salary.
Boy am I glad I terminated my contract with that company. They are doing their best to sabotage themselves.
