Any evidence of this in practice?

Or maybe you'd both get $100, or maybe one of you would never be hired. You've got your hypotheticals, I've got mine.

You didn't answer my hypothetical, but I'll answer yours: If my salary doesn't change but Alice gets a raise, good for her, doesn't bother me. If I never got hired I don't care about Alice's salary, likewise if she never got hired. Anyway, the parent comment complained "why would I want my salary to be the same as everyone else?" so that's what my hypothetical gets at.
