If they're paying low salaries, they're getting low-quality people. You get what you pay for. Sometimes there can be that rare highly capable and hard-working "ringer" who likes the product, the problem space, the company, or whatever such that he/she will work for less than what they'd earn elsewhere. They don't usually stay around long, though. Once a boss or two figures out how good they are, pretty soon they're being assigned 3 or 4 times as much work as everybody else. Or they're given all the tricky, messy shit to solve or do. Or both. They won't put up with that for long - not for a below-market salary, at least.
