Well no shit. If I'm currently a top performer and we hire new workers at a higher pay rate than me, if I have to wait to get a raise because of BS corporate bureaucracy then the company should know from the second they say no I have my foot halfway out the door.
Funnily enough at many companies the second you actually threaten to leave, that corporate BS suddenly isn't an issue. But trust has already been lost.
Exactly as mentioned in the article but what should be basic common-sense. Why would I continue to work as hard as I do being a known top performer just for somebody who is new and has no history to get paid more than me.
But of course some of this may actually be exactly what some companies want in this backwards world, get rid of top performers who expect a pay raise in favor of those who don't expect one anytime soon like new employees. Set the expectation to new employees to not expect raises, etc.

Not "many" - "every company". Unless you're an useless cog in the machine, you can always leverage a raise by saying you got a better offer somewhere else.
In very rare cases it pays to take the raise from the old company though, your name is already on a List, so better start looking for other jobs anyway.
