Bad aura or not : It's just the way it works, practically everywhere.
In my case, I was loyal and obedient for about 3 years. Employer was very happy with me, but the job was underpaid bigtime. I thought my attitude would pay off eventually. It did not. I had small raises every year. The last few years I've gotten BIG raises because I've threatened to leave twice. Management folks are always opportunists. They pay whatever minimum that keeps you going. The game is called capitalism and employees and employers are all pawns looking for their own interest. It is what it is.
