I work at a family owned manufacturing company in the midwest. They do about $5 million a year in business at least.
The owner was out of town so I decided to stir some shit and ask for a raise by the end of Apr.
I did that this afternoon and I'm already fielding 4 job offers just today.
All substantial raises. All can start in 2 weeks. 2 phone interviews today, with personal friends giving me references at each company.
Quit your job right now. Use all your contacts and find out who is hiring right now.
Do not wait. They are fucking panicking about this labor market and now is the time to grab a bat and start fucking swinging.
I'm getting a 50% raise, they are out there if you are currently underpaid.
