Or do what I do, tell management to fornicate themselves and their horse by getting a job with the competition who will give me a 15%-25% pay increase to jump ship.
Recycle this every 5 years and you are golden.
Nobody gives raises, my current job is royally fucked when I leave because the other guy left 5 months ago and instead of hiring someone, they threw me an intern and said, "train him to be as good as you are".
Gave my 2 weeks notice today and the boss is shitting himself as there will not be anyone to do my job, and it will cost them $60K to hire even a mildly competent replacement..... suddenly that $10K a year raise they should have given me 3 months ago when I ask looks like it would have been a good idea.
I love how non competes are illegal in this state....
