I assume GP's fix is, "Don't accept below-market pay."
which implies to me that people were accepting below market pay because - reasons?

sure, but in the case of someone having accepted below market pay I can see how being misled would have meant an actual hurt suffered.
Let's say I like to bake cakes and the school announces this year because of Corona there will not be a bake sale but then 4 days before they announce guess what there will be anyway! Then I would be upset because I had changed my behavior based on what they said and now I couldn't undo it. I guess anyone who stayed at the company because it wouldn't be sold would feel mislead but why I guess I have a hard time considering to stay at a company because it wouldn't be sold as a decision I would make - I would want other reasons to stay at a company that would not matter whether it was sold or not.
It's obviously a failure of imagination on my part, so it would be good to have an actual scenario as to how someone would feel hurt not just if someone says X and its not X you are mislead, because you still need the part about how X made you do Y instead of Z.
