Those above entry level are often cynical and jaded from being passed up for new positions. So once they reach a senior level they will do everything to make sure the new hires stay at the bottom. I left a job specifically because I found out the Sr. Line officer refused to promote me to Tech 1 at the foundry I worked at. This would have removed me out of packaging and into a lab. I originally applied for Tech/Lab 1 and was given that pay rate for my 90 days. Then, the company informed me that i'd be losing 2 dollars and staying as 3rd shift packaging. I was livid, I talked to the manager of the lab and asked. Apparently someone on the line was given Tech 1 over me because of seniority and when I confronted the Line officer he told me that "I didnt put in my time" so I told him, I quit and walked off the job.
It got to a point where they almost denied me my UI until I showed the review board the papers given to me with the title I was coming on board with and oh boy...the state's review board chewed the company out. I found a better job afterwards, but I miss working in the lab.
Its the same in any industry.
