When I started at the company I currently work for, my then manager saw how hard I was working and negotiated an 11% raise on my behalf during my first annual review, and another 10% following. She was cool as hell and protected me from the upper management bullshit that was going on at the time. She left because they had her working 65+ hours every week for a CEO who was/is pissing away the company’s capital and goodwill with clients.

My current manager is the bullshit, I haven’t had a raise since she left three years ago and I’ve been looking off and on for something else while I steadily lower my effort to be commensurate with my effective pay.
