That was the case in my last company, and in a lot of the companies I deal with. I had an opening for three years because the company thought sports writers were only worth $9 an hour to cover high school games, or $25 per story, but no benefits. During quarterly meetings I would cite advertisers who had pulled because there was little to no sports coverage at that property and upper management would just shrug and say "well, find a customer to replace them." They lost tens of thousands of dollars in the course of two years, not even factoring in lost rack sales. But it didn't fit their spreadsheet perception to pay more than $9.
Oh just replace the customer? Didn't know it was as easy as that.
