In any business, it’s possible for a few workers to get paid enough to be in the “ruling class” category, but only a small minority. I suspect this is done to give the illusion of meritocracy and individual progression, but is probably also a function of social closeness. The business could pay every last individual employee less than the surplus it gains from each one on average, but that would firmly align all the workers with each other.
