I've worked for 5 companies and 3 of them had this behavior. Would get 5/5 on reviews, saved company hundreds of thousands, delivered a flagship multi million dollar in revenue product. Ask for more then 10k and was told to get an offer elsewhere and they would match. Got another job at 30k+ told them to screw off, if I have to apply and go get a job offer to prove my "worth" then I'm just going to go work for another company. Companies have a bad habit of negotiating for negotiating rather then paying for worth. It's because it's hard to track worth and easier just to always bottom out, that and much of non tech centered world still operates like that across the board.

- mcv 8y agoYeah, that sounds like just about the worst way a company might go about this. They actively send their people to look for new jobs, and only once they've found one, you give them a raise, hoping they'll prefer this toxic attitude over some fresh new job. Also, relying on the opinion of other companies to determine the value of your own employees is completely backwards. Nobody had better data to determine the value of your employees than you do. Other employers basically have to make a stab in the dark at what someone's worth, and maybe not extend the contract if the new hire turns out to disappoint. As the current employer, you should know how good your people are.
