Actually it can have repercussions on them.. A lot of companies give bonuses to store managers for reducing their shrinkage, even by .5%. The inherent problem with that strategy 90% of the time it's the lowly employee who actually does the work. Therefore the manager get more money for the employee doing the job they should do themselves for the bonus. Now mom and pop shops it makes sense, but these big corpo's only care about increasing payments to their shareholders and board of directors.
Now when the manager is asked for a raise, they will act like it's coming out of their own pocket. In all seriousness, being employed is nothing more than indentured servitude. This is why people in general cannot make any headway in business unless they put themselves in debt for 30 years to be educated to do a job. Mind you better than 60% of college graduates don't even get a job in the field they went to college for.
And don't even get me started on the predatory practices of colleges.
