we need to face the reality that in capitalism, anything you can get someone else to do* for cheaper than your own price should be outsourced. Hiring cheaters does select for someone who can take other's work and apply it for their own situation, whilst capturing the value difference (essentially capitalism).

Love it or hate it, it's actually a selected for skill perhaps immorally applied.

Additionally companies create their promotable skill set (both explicitly and implicitly), if their system is selecting for something, its not incumbent on you to break yourself against that system, play the game the way it's set up and allow the Executive class to reap the pros/cons of their setup.

Edit: One more thought is that when you look at an evolutionary style thought system, there's no "playing fair" in nature. Yes relationships and such have value, but being hired vs not being hired is a sort of reproductive event where whatever gets you hired means you get the experience/resume item and your competitors do not.
