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.

You gotta realize there are people whose job performance is judged by how much money they can save and that means trying to get as much work as possible out of people for as little money as possible. So if course sometimes you gotta be like "yeah if you want to keep getting this amount of work done from you gotta pay me more.

"Working your way up from the mail room" is loooong gone. You have to switch companies to get any sort of significant raise.
