From the beginning of Charmed, the question of personal gain was raised when examining the actions of individual Charmed Ones. In Episode 1, Piper "freezes" Chef Moore and later wins a job. In Episode 2, Phoebe has a premonition about the winning lottery numbers and attempts to cash in. Controversy about personal gain seems almost fore-ordained given Prue's use of the Wiccan Rede as a cudgel to keep her sisters in line.
Quoting vandergraafk, Elder gets us going with this comment from the Charmed Cafe:
"Paige was certainly "guilty" of a level two personal gain action. In Charmed and Dangerous, she used magic to clear the battered and bruised face of Caroline so that Caroline could impress the judge and win custody of her children. Paige never intended to personally gain from this heroic deed. Yet, she learns later that this great effort on her part played an instrumental role in winning a promotion to social worker that she acquired by leapfrogging over the candidate next in line. True to her Wiccan rede, Paige declined the promotion. "
...Which she should not have done.
I have yelled about this issue since it was broadcasted.
Paige had no intention of getting a promotion since (by her actions) she believed she would not make it out of the upcoming battle alive.
Piper however used her freeze to influence the actions of Chef Moore and should have been punished right away.
