And when you take the raise they’ll give you all the shit work until they find a replacement for you. If you legit have an offer from a different company take it.
Do you really think they'd try to drive you out after giving you a raise to stay?
I think most of these companies as a whole are pretty evil, but your middle-managment boss or random HR rep is probably happy that you got more money out of the deal. They're a cog in the machine just like you.
No way. You might walk through the door at the other company, realise it's a horrible place to work, and hand in your resignation at lunch time.
Take the pay rise. If they fire you a month later, you'll at least get a big severance package to cover your living expenses while you look for a new job. If you quit, then quit again, you're going to be delivering pizza's or something while you look for a decent paying job.
Do you not have any references at the company? Because that is the only way this could really happen. Personally I don’t blindly apply to a company without having any inside references.
Once you strong arm your employer to giving you a raise you’ve painted a big target on your back and you’ve announced that you’re willing to walk over money. It spells insecurity to them and the next thing you’ll find is the door hitting you on the way out.
it’s consdierably easier to find a job when you have a job.
Don't knock delivering pizzas.
