I have been working at a company for 2 years. I have 15 years experience in the line of work, and have been running a shorthanded crew for a year now. Another company in the same industry head hunted me to get a promotion, a sizable pay raise, and better benefits. My boss asked for some time to negotiate. His counter offer was less of a pay raise, no promotion, and no pay raise when evaluations are done. Now I am the bad guy because with me leaving the company will lose a $11 million contract. If I am that important, why not pay me for it?
