This!
When I was in my mid 20ties I was writing code in C almost non-stop, they replaced me with 7 people and a scrum master. Apparently, cheaper than giving me 12% raise I demanded (around 2015).

- peteradio 4y agoCan't let the devs get uppity. That's a fact. Look at it from business point of view, they are the only ones who see the money and if they don't feed you requirements you are blind. If they give you a 12% raise today then who's to say you won't just come back tomorrow and request another and another and another, there's really no end. Newsflash, asking for a raise everyday is an exponential growth (did you even know that your incessant raises would lead to your cost ballooning 30x within a month?), while 7-8 highly skilled consultants is a one time 7-8x bargain relative to your exponential growth demands wherein you will consume all the earths resources within the year. How selfish can one person be? MY GOD!

- kaashif 4y ago> 20ties Twentyties? Serious comment: some managers are addicted to empire-building and their status derives from the number of people they manage. Not how productive they actually are...
- ngc248 4y agoThat is true, sometimes its also that one person is doing a small teams' work and instead of giving a raise, they feel it is better to hire from outside. I have seen this happen many times
