you're making it too dramatic. this isn't a breakup. you tell your boss that you have a better offer. if he wants to retain you, he will work to get you the terms you need to stay. it's not his money, he doesn't give a poo poo if the company cuts you a bigger check every pay period. in fact, most bosses would be happy to pay their employees more if they found a justification for it that goes around HR's compensation restrictions. this is that kind of excuse.

there are two caveats. one is that you have to be fairly sure they want to retain you. and two, you can't bluff. if they fold you have to take the other offer or you will be their bitch from then on.

I've seen this story play out over and over. you will never see a raise with the current company. ever.

they should have let goog build a bunch of tiny studios/dorm style housing because a) young people don't vote and b) they'll have to move if they want to have kids [increased school-age population terrifies these fuckers to death because Good Schools* is a huge part of their inflated property values]

first my mind went to amount of kids in classes and how it might negatively impact student/teacher time and ..

it's because talent knows no race isn't it? :smith:
