Yeah they’re trying to get as much money as possible from you. They’re a business - that’s their reason for existing. When it’s a luxury good I can’t see any ethical issue in that.

When I ask for a pay rise for doing the same job from my employer am I being unethical?

You're generally not doing the same job year over year. Your roles and responsibilities grow and evolve the longer you are there, so it makes sense that your pay would also grow with you.

What if your responsibilities/capabilities didn't change, and you merely realized that you're worth more to the business than what you're currently being paid?
