"You cannot ask for a raise when the company is in trouble"

Isn't this the standard for most companies (especially IT) in today's economy?

Yeah. Most tech companies are facing an "uncertain economy" yet the execs are still paying themselves $300k/yr cash and as-much-as-possible w/ options/RSUs. If you are talented, you can negotiate. Many people in senior management are insecure, they know they are overpaid, and need people that can actually produce, to help them hold their position.
