I quit!
After all the personal sacrifice I've given (14 hours xmas day, 12 hours new years day, not a single day off in 6 months, number one biller in the world, blah blah blah), I'm still just a number to those clowns. I was going to give them the courtesy of 2 weeks notice if they wanted it, but after an astonishing 1.1% raise disclosed just today?!?! Fuck 'em. I'm done today!
I'm taking the next 3 weeks off (labor day week is National Championships in Lincoln, NE). New company role is epic, and with all additional compensation included, it's about a 51% raise in my first 12 months compared to my old job, with an unlimited upside. |

Best of luck to you. Go where the money is. As my Industrial Management professor said, loyalty and a buck will get you a cup of coffee.
Okay, so it was a quarter back then. |

They are in such panic mode now. LOL Already trying to make a counter offer. My manager did ask me to not burn bridges, so I gave them a courtesy 2 weeks, but they have already taken me off of the project I was assigned to start today. If I'm "on the bench" for 2 weeks, and they want to pay me, fine, but I'm basically not going to have to work for the next 2 weeks.
Company has "bands" concept, and now they are trying to get me a band promotion so they have more salary cap (I feel like a professional athlete. LOL). I told them, "as I indicated, I don't think the company structure can handle a 51% raise", but have at it. At the end of the day, no matter how much they pay me, I'm still just a pawn. New gig gives me much more control over my life. |

Good luck in the next phase of your career.
I have opportunities always knocking with higher salary, but it is hard to compete when I get to go to bed in my own bed every night and spend time with my kids. I guess as they get older that will possibly change; but for now, I will ride this horse as far as it will take me |

Big companies like that should truly learn how to pay the rockstars. Instead, I'm just cattle in a trough. Their loss. It was a good run, but not a perfect fit for someone like me. |

sad, but very true. Them talking you into staying is for their short-term advantage; to get them out of a bind.

You damn millenials don't know how to keep a job for more than a year, always demanding more and having no loyalty.
Congrats on the new gig Craig. Sounds like we need to go get a celebratory beer. Well, I'll have a beer, you can have a 12 pack |

We're overdue for sure. Maybe when I get the mid-engine, you'll actually come visit.

That won't be good for my wallet. Lol. I'm really wanting to put an order in. But I also have a long list of stuff I want todo to my house. I need one of those 51% raises. Excuse me while I go pester my VP.

Totally understand the Band Crap. We went to it a few years back. What a joke it is.
Congrats on the new Gig. |
