Of course, if your employer isn't giving out raises and prices keep going up, people who can get better jobs will engineer their own raise.
My boss told me if I try to leave they will pay me more. That just pisses me off. I do a kick ass job for them, I made myself a profit center. I have saved the company half a million a year. Throw me a bone, it costs you NOTHING.
At a previous job where I had basically become the manager of my manager and held my department together, I spent 3 months just trying to get a meeting with the guy who had the power to give me a raise.
In that time I found another job and put in my two weeks, my new job paid 90k but for shits and giggle I told them I was getting 130 and asked if they could do any better, they immediately came back with 110 which was almost worse since I was only initally asking for 80. I said no and went on to my new job which was 110% the right call.
Shortly after that they announced that they were selling the company, I heard from my old manager that the sale went through but in the mix that had to drop a good chunk of their clients from my old department (the most profitable one) since I was the only one there who knew how to handle a majority of the work and the only reason they could bring them on was me. I don't know how it all worked out but the old owner got sued for fudging numbers and is now the current owner.
Last I heard they fumbled keeping my department alive and all of my coworkers got layed off along a lot of other people and the company's not doing so hot.
