By the time I want a raise I'm usually looking for a new job.

I’ve only ever talked to my manager about it I’ve never tried going to HR. Does it go better?
HR has no direct say in your salary. It's your manager who makes the case for you. There are only 2 scenarios I can think of where your salary would get adjusted outside of normal process, (1) retention, (2) unfair salary.
I think the conversation has to happen with your manager and then they’ll escalate it to HR. I’ve never done it but I’m curious to know how others have handled it.
Who has the authority to give you a raise? That’s who needs to be convinced. HR doesn’t have incentive or authority. Your management should have both if they like you.
At Uber it’s usually your manager you approach for a raise.
Same at Microsoft, HR would direct you to speak to your manager. If you feel your manager is intentionally blocking the raise, and undeservedly so, talk to your skip-level manager about it.
Not very easily, you would have to have water tight support for deserving the raise, then not get one, and would have to inquire as to why. If your manager's reasoning for not supporting the raise is shaky there may be a case to go over their head, but your support for getting a raise "documented and measurable impact" better be apparent to everyone but your manager.
I would normally bring it up in a 1:1 with my manager. Make sure you've got some good evidence to back up your request.
Manager at Google who will make a case for it during comp planning. It's almost impossible to get a mid year or off cycle raise unless you are trying to be retained due to a competing off. And even then there are no guarantees.
Also figure out when comp planning takes place and have strategic conversations leading up to that time. I also address it monthly with my manager. For instance, starting in August I would have a Frank conversation with my lead in why I might deserve more than the algorithm suggests. And why equity is important to me.
I recently have and inflation was one of the biggest driving factors. Worked out well!
It's management that makes the decisions where I am, HR just executes
Who can the drivers ask for a raise 😂. Quality problem you have here my friend. Drivers keep getting pay cuts. A raise is unheard of. Seems like a lot of hassle you have to go through but at least your pay isn’t cut every 6 months.
