True in some situations but totally depends on the company, on your boss, and on your performance. At my current employer I've been kicking ass at my job and getting regular raises without having to ask for them. Granted, my starting base salary was lower than what a lot of tech companies offer, but I work for a competent, fair managment team and I rarely need to put in more than 40 hours a week.
