If an employer doesn't think I am worth it and won't pay me more without asking I'd rather find one that apreciates what I do and leave. Last place I worked had every VP call me and ask if they could do anything or pay me more. Welp should've asked me that a year ago mate. They also said misogynistic things and made it a lot easier to leave lol.
I'm reading his post the other way around: I think he is bitching and moaning about having to offer a lot more money to attract somebody from the competition.
The situation were somebody has already chosen to leave and the opde employers offers more money as a last ditch effort to keep that employee is a whole different affair with, as you pointed out, the whole element that them offering you more money when you're about to leave means that they've knowingly been underpaying you all along.
Ah perhaps it is a LinkedIn lunatic afteral. I wouldn't want to work with that toxicity for millions lol
Same thing happened last time. I switched jobs. I was like "I've been telling you all the problems with this place for 2 years. Why are you even asking now?"
