Total BS.........as I told you.
I'm not sure how I would make a case either way other than to tell you that if I had to hire a new employee next year or replace one that quit, it would factor into the decision that my take home will be less. Will it be the "dealbreaker"? At that level, probably not. Will it have some effect on my decision? IOW, will I try to see if I can make do without? I would have to honestly say it would.

Let me give you an example. I am over the 80K mark, household wise. As such, even if I found $10 tomorrow, it won't change my life. IOW, it is not a matter of whether I eat or not. Last year, we had a bunch of kids go "superglue" quarters to the floor to see who picks it up and have a chuckle. Know what I did? I took my Leatherman out and chiseled out the money. Didn't affect me financially but money is still money. $5.25K in my wallet, whatever I make is $5.25K whether I make 1 million or $20K a year.
