Varies a lot by manager, company, and culture. If they are determining raises and have enough for 3% per team member, allocating 6% to someone who is a flight risk is risky. If that person leaves, 3 people who got 2% raises are now getting paid less for a strategy that didn't pan out. As a manager, you may be able to get an out of cycle raise for them, or you might not. If the other employees start looking for a job because of the low raise, you will have more positions to fill and more headaches trying to transition projects between people, reprioritizing, taking on additional work to fill in the gaps, training the new employees, etc.
