Sharing the success of the business with employees dramatically increases their output, tenure, and general happiness thereby increasing revenue, productivity, and earnings.
It seems very obvious that this is an employees goal. work hard - results - GET PAID!
Unfortunately, a great percentage of companies and managers do not believe that compensation is a prime driver...

The company is doing you a favor by giving you a chance to prove yourself and make yourself a more experienced professional... you seem to be forgetting about that part.
The company is doing you a favor by setting a pay rate for X work and then paying you the same for XYZ work. In my experience we call this mantra 'Purpose' - it is another way of saying [Ted is a loser. he is now doing Jim, Joan, and Randy's jobs for the same pay as what he started at...lets tell him that he is getting enriched with experience and should feel good that he is doing 80 hours of data entry instead of 40...then lets tell him that his work is serving the greater good] Meanwhile, shareholders get $.00875 per share more year. HIGH FIVE!
Spoiler alert - if you ask for a raise they will likely give you something, but be careful. The next Ted is just around the corner ready to add your responsibilities to his plate.
