Its not about being loyal to the manager. No matter how good you are, there is no such thing as the company being loyal. The company wants to extract as much value out of the employees as possible. Their ultimate goal is to please shareholders or investors. The company wouldn’t think twice about laying off employees, or not paying market rates if they can get away with it.

Salary compression and inversion are real. A company is more than willling to pay market rates to get a new employee but barely give existing employees a cost of living raise. I judge my manager on how well he can push for compensation for me.
