There are companies which wouldn't give any of their workers any raise for as long as they worked for them. There are some owners who can be very stingy with paying. They payment agreed for you when you're employed is what they will stick to until you leave the job.
This is rampant in economies that are suffering from high unemployment rates. You can't try such in most developed economies and expect the worker to stick to working for you for a very long period of time. It is impossible.
