I work on a smaller team. A coworker just left to go to another company after the company refused a pay raise to him and the team. Before he left the company let us know they wouldn’t be back filling his spot.
Then today, his last day he sent out a company wide email. He listed his exact wage and that now the company had plenty to give us all wages. Seeing they weren’t back filling he even did the math and included it. I fully expect him to be walked out today but it was a standup thing for him to do. I plan on asking for the raise tomorrow and will be asking my teammates to do the same.
