The rule ostensibly being to prevent people griping to the boss about 
someone else getting a raise. In reality, one suspects its so that the 
person working 25 hours a week at $7.25 an hour, and taking food stamps, 
doesn't found out that the guy two levels over him works 40 hours at $20 
an hour, and the guy at the very top probably makes the equivalent of 
$500 an hour, plus gets million dollar bonuses every year, even while 
his incompetence just erased your job and that of 2,000 other people 
that where in your same situation.
