    No joke, I was unhappy with a job once and I hadn’t gotten a raise so I wrote my resignation letter and basically said that I was quittting because it was obvious that I wasn’t a valued employee because I hadn’t gotten a raise, and the VP at my department came back and said “no! Don’t go! You’re great! It’s not that we don’t value you, it’s just that we don’t give anybody raises.” 😐

      I had exactly the same experience. The manager answered me “wait, I can actually raise you! Here it is!”. I merely had to be a dick like them for them to do something. I still left.

        I had a similar reaction. My coworkers resented me for getting a raise when they didn’t, and I don’t blame them. I told them they all deserved a raise too. I left a few months later.
