Fun story I've shared here before, at my first job I got a 1%-2% raise every year for the first 3 years. On the third one I said, "if I don't get a better raise this year I will find another job". I got another tiny raise, found another job that was a 20% increase. My boss comes to me and said "how much more do we have to pay you to stay?".

They could have easily paid more that entire time but thought I was a sucker. I felt deeply insulted at that point and just told him it's too late. Best move I ever made.
