Earlier quoted context omitted.
The phrasing bandied about where I currently work is: "You are doing the same job as last year, so your pay should be the same adjusted for inflation. If you want more money, you need to be taking on more responsibility, growing your role."
You are doing the same job as last year, except with a whole nother year's worth of experience .

You won't grow by staying in the confort zone. And that's what most people do.
Re: Ask HN: Salary Increases Over Time
#24Experience to date has been that without promotion, pay-rises within a company have always trailed inflation. So either you get promoted, and at that point you've negotiated a substantial raise (to offset the real decline in earnings and to protect your actual earnings in the years after the payrise)... Or... You go get a job elsewhere. It's a sad fact that the majority of real pay rises that I've ever seen, and that…

very off topic, but i've always wondered whether 'nother' was an acceptable word to use.

This is less relevant than it seems, except for "leaning" experience (for example, familiarity with a system) You won't grow by staying in the confort zone. And that's what most people do.

no native english speaker here, but i guess "a whole 'nother" would be correct. but let people be lazy when typing online. actually i guess you'd also need to switch the words to be gramatically correct: "another whole year"

Experience is secondary. It's only any good to your employer if it increases the value you provide.
I've seen that first hand with more than a couple of friends: people who remained in the same company saw a much less significant raise over time (10 years) than people who changed 2 or 3 times of company in the same timespan.
This is unfortunate but it seems to be a fairly common pattern (at least here in France), including getting much higher offers from companies which you left one year ago partly because you could not get raises.
