It's pretty much a cost-control move; They highlight base pay for broader appeal but then trim perks to balance margins. It's ridiculous.

I have a very different definition of it than my employer does. To me, it's enough to allow me to not live paycheck to paycheck and not want to leave for greener pastures. For employers, it seems to mean the lowest amount they can get away with paying.
