You never get the same salary growth by staying in the same company as a programmer.
I'm not sure why exactly (there are many factors including your initial most probably underestimated salary as a reference point etc.), but I never seen it working.
The executives don't either. They're all passing through on their way to bigger and better gigs. If they can get more out of the employees for less money it just makes them look better. They don't care if they burn down the team long term because they'll be somewhere else.
