>Does asking for a match imply that you are threatening to leave, though? It absolutely means you're leaving If they match today, you've already telegraphed to them that you're not happy, and will leave as soon as you can You're going to be first on the chopping block for layoffs, last in line for promotional consideration, etc You're basically telling your employer "pay me more even though I'm not doing anything else for you"
