The problem is that I'm very happy in my job except for the fact that it's never going to pay more than I'm making and I have to bring in 15-18% more revenue each year to make the same money I made the previous year. There's no income growth potential here. Otherwise, I love the job, the co-workers and the customers.
My boss's revenue quotas for our team do not change because he loses people. He's currently covering for another team member out on maternity leave and another two team members (who are married to each other) are looking to transfer back to the midwest where they have family before she has her baby. So the last thing in the world my boss needs right now is for someone who's fully up and running and currently far exceeding his revenue goals for the year to want to leave. I'm in a very good spot to get a generous counter IF I have really have another good job to go to. I would never give anything like an ultimatum I wasn't prepared to lose. And I wouldn't ask for a counter either.
