    Only way to achieve that is to leave for a higher paying job, or threaten to do so, credibly. Worked for me.

      I seem to have stumbled upon an employer that actually values its employees, seeing how I keep getting raises that match inflation.

      Granted, I left a different job for that initial 40% “raise” …

      We’ll see how it pans out.

      I offered to quit for 6 months to get out from a non compete since I am technically a contractor and that got me a new contract and a small raise… That was neat.

      That works if you have negotiating power (i.e. marketable, in demand skills). It’s not an option for many people. For instance, I live in Arkansas where Tyson Foods is a major employer. They have poultry plants in small towns all over the place. Higher paying jobs don’t exist in a lot of those places.
