Was told getting a raise would be “overpaying” the employees.

So I’ve been with a company for 5 years and have only received ONE raise within that time frame. With inflation happening and living in an expensive city, I asked if I would be getting one. I am in good standing with the company, have never been written up ect. I was told that giving the employees raises is “not a good business model” and that “overpaying” the employees would sink the company. I make $20.00 dollars an hour….in LA.
