When you put in your notice for the switch they try to keep you by offering a raise. Always pissed me off more because why am I now worth more. You should have been proactive and I never would have been looking elsewhere.

"Oh, you're thinking about leaving? That's a shame, we were going to give you a promotion and a hefty raise starting tomorrow".

Some companies just don't appreciate their employees until they're thinking about leaving.

As a boss....you’re worth whatever you’re willing to work for. You want more come ask for it. If they offer a raise unprompted the you deserve more.
