Most places, it would be more of a canned response about how the raise system works. Every place I have ever worked (HP, IBM, etc) only do payraises in specific timeframes related to year-end appraisals - and even then, there is little discretion in terms of pay range increases. (There is a process for special cases, but much harder to justify).

There is no advantage for asking for something with some hidden agenda for something else. If you want feedback, ask for it. Try the approach of asking what it would take to reach the qualifications for the next level higher. If an Engineer I, ask what you need to do to make Engineer II at that company.

In fact, asking for a payraise when you are asking for feedback is a very, very bad idea. The manager will probably tell you are actually asking from a hidden agenda and that is where they can start to think you are looking at leaving.

Ginny stated she would hire 25,000 in the US over the next few years.

Which is roughly the number of people who would normally retire or otherwise leave IBM over the same timeframe. This was more about backfill than adding positions. (I suspect the number hired would still represent an overall loss to the US employment figures).
