Some commenters offer counterexamples of fair-pay employers with low turnover and describe bosses willing to work alongside employees. One describes a boss whose company "never had to advertise for employment" due to fair compensation and mutual respect.
“I had a summer job boss who never had to advertise for employment. Word of mouth and high employee retention. How? Fair compensation and never asked an employee to do something he wouldn't do himself.”

This shit always pisses me off no matter where it comes from. I had to argue with the NY Daily News about a contract years ago. In the end, they paid $20 to ship old newspapers to my new address, in order to collect $12.50 from me.

Not enough context here to make these broad judgements. What if the employee asking for the raise is an under-performer?

People in corporations live in their own silos, you’re lucky if they think a month ahead.
