God. Damn. Right.

It literally astounds me that managers don't understand that if you force people to shop around to get any improvement in their situations they will resent you for it. It costs time to secure another position, and if you only needed to pay me or give me X + Y initially to retain my employment, if you make me get an offer to negotiate it is going to cost you X + Y + Z because you wasted my time.

>it is going to cost you X + Y + Z because you wasted my time.

And because it is most certainly apparent no loyalty exists and now I have to factor in the risk you let me go (a.k.a. fire) me in 6 months if the right opportunity arises. To hell if I want to keep working in a place where I'm always needing to watch my back and be ready to find something else anyways. Good riddance!
