Middle managers can't approve any raise higher than say, 5%, and even that's after a full review cycle.

They can ask their boss to approve it though, and if necessary it could go all the way to the top.

Most people wouldn't stick their neck out unless it's really necessary and directly beneficial, especially since there are systems in place to prevent/block/slow down this kind of thing. Especially if you're a newcomer.

The positive case is the (very rare) exception.
