Well, I did try talking to my boss at my last job, but he replied with "Sorry, I tried to get you more, but corporate wouldn't budge." Which was probably an honest statement. Raises were centrally managed by 'Human Capital Management', and individual supervisors had pretty much zero say in the size of their employees raises. As it happened, my departure was ill-timed (for them) and I'm pretty sure it cost them far more than it would have to just give me a decent frickin' raise (seriously, 3-5% and I would have stayed).
