Read the article, you’re just saying stuff.

Categorically false and not supported by the article. What you described is the negotiation process for anything. If your first ask in a wage negotiation isn’t higher than your target you’re doing it wrong.

I never said there aren’t other motivating factors to stay at a job. But saying it’s not as important as people think is at best a bad faith argument. It’s not up to you to decide what other people think, aside from the mountain of evidence otherwise.

Either you’re being purposely obtuse, you have some disgruntled employess, or you like the taste of boots. In any case, your comments aren’t contributing anything meaningful to this conversation.

1.) A 5% raise doesn’t even cover inflation.

2.) No one who is serious about wanting a pay raise to stay is asking for an 67% increase in pay.

3.) Leaving because of pay is typically because someone is offering substantially more money/better benefits for a similar position.

4.) You have it backwards you definitely worry about raises in pay, especially before you get a raise of $10-20k.

5.) As someone who has made 60k/yr a raise of 6-10k would be more than enough incentive to stay. It would easily outpace inflation and reward someone who is doing well.
