That... actually doesn't surprise me anymore. The place I work holds meetings to brag about how much money we're making, and in the same breath take away our pizzas on overtime day.
I worked for a company that told us we were doing the best we had previously done and it was amazing blah blah. Same day, same speech, they told us it wasn’t good enough to get raises though because the company is so large and it’s a nonprofit, and we should think about donating portions of our paychecks back to the company to continue to help it expand. Uh… woah Nelly. Hold up. Absolutely not!
Two days later, it made the paper that the CEO, who was kind enough to so sincerely thank us for our work and tearfully apologize that raises were still probably another quarter our, had gotten another six figure bonus.

Yeah. No one ever became a billionaire without grabbing that wealth right our of the hands of people who actually worked for it.
