I did this recently with a 25% pay jump and my last job still refuses to pay market rate even on new hires. They are having problems hiring my replacement…gee wonder why

Your old coworkers are the reason the job market is so screwed up. Somewhere along the line we all became complacent pushovers and our employers caught onto it and realized they don’t need to give pay raises

Victim blaming? On my reddit?

It's more common than you think.

They’re not victims.

They’re not forced into that job, and I’m sure 80-90% of them can easily leave and find work elsewhere. They’re just too scared to do so and they’re employer knows this. So why bother giving decent raises?

You never get anywhere in life being a pushover.

Last place I left was WAY underpaying and quickly found themselves losing others after me in my small group. Next thing they know they're opening like 4 slots for that position and lost one of the two managers. And they couldn't fill a single spot for months.
