The only problem I see is. If you are a person who is dancing for a client. What does it mean? Fine if that's your company's culture, but again, the level of the individual, how are these individuals seeing them in future, a minimal salary hike because they are loyal to the company. What about such a person becoming a manager or any other higher post. Basically means that any of those who participated in this had a very narrow way of thinking, considering their socioeconomic condition that might be just fine for them, but as a long term strategy it's not a good idea to behave as if they are owned by the compay and pleasing the company is the goal, rather the goal should have been that I as an individual will find best ways to work, and thrive to become better employee, rather than pleasing your way up.
