I don't know if you can assume it's a negotiation tactic. My friend is a manager for Amazon and he wasn't able to give people raises like he wanted to. I don't remember if he couldn't give them a raise or couldn't give them as much as he wanted to, but either way, it's definitely a thing in some places.

That's still a negotiation script, just one set from above the first line manager.

Double effective because now first line are insulated from negotiations and grunts don't know who are the negotiatiors they need to talk to.
