You said, quote: > young(cheap) workers are in large supply so people may actually be fired for asking for a raise which is what I'm specifically asking about. Is there any case where this causal relationship has been demonstrated? > I'm just describing, hypothetically, what a person's logic might be Then we need to preach loud and long how totally mistaken that logic is. "Well Johnson, you're a model employee and get great reviews every year, but you asked for a raise so I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go." - never happens.
