If I remember correctly, the advice to give raises randomly also appeared in a serious, non-ironic "How to become a CEO" book [1].

There, it was positioned as a way to make subordinates work harder and make them more loyal - people were assumed to react to fuzzy, random bonuses and raises better than to a linear relationship between results and pay.
