Yes, middle management gets a bonus for keeping costs down, so it's in their personal interest to refuse raises.

The one in charge of hiring gets a bonus for bringing in people because work needs to be done and there aren't enough workers.

The incentives make the system as it is. And good long term incentives seem to be few and far between.
