I agree it's a lowball salary. But the type of person who complains about this invariably does the same thing: takes the academic job anyway to feed the same parasitic institution that he complains has been ripping him off for years.

Certainly that's part of it, although I think the urge to inflict punishment is coupled with a feeling of insecurity that one really isn't 'worth it.' I'm not especially well-connected but know at least 3 HR ppl that would hire him for double that; he hasn't tried.
