It's all about the money flow. Money comes in, money goes out. They don't want you having a savings. They want you to spend it. The more money flowing in circulation, the better. This is why you have made-up jobs like "Regional Color Coordinator" so yet another person is participating in the money flow. You are not a person to them. You are a cell that takes in money and sends out money. They don't want you having quality products, because then you're not spending, so they make the products shitty so you have to keep buying.
There's also another aspect to this: the more complex the money paths, the harder it becomes to find fraud, or where the tumors that act in your detriment are getting funding from.
