Usually I see this in the form of bonuses, especially ones that will basically always trigger unless you piss someone off (e.g. based on boss’s performance review, where you both know it’s just going be approved unless you really fuck up). Though this still maintains the risk/burden on you; e.g. boss changes; but it keeps HR happy, lawsuits away, and employees with a proper paybump

Every place I worked bonuses are decided according to a strict formula based on the performance of an entire departments and even the company as a whole. There is no way to reward an individual or even a project group with a bonus unless the whole larger office also hit their targets.
