    Nope, it would cripple it for a time. I’m not saying it’s a good idea, but it’s not unprecedented

      It also becomes a giant red flag to any potential applicants.

      “Why is this position open?”

      “We had the previous employee imprisoned for complaining too hard about how little we were paying him”

      Not that it can’t happen, and similar things continue to happen, but most (and certainly the best) candidates will avoid that place for many years, and demand extremely high pay from the beginning.
