Go to a competitor. It can be a farce sometimes, when people from two different companies across the street essentially just replace each other for 20% more, but doing the exact same job. And then two years later they repeat and switch chairs again for another 20%.

Maybe there's some benefit to the companies in having stuff like this happen (learning a bit more about the competition), but the negative consequences that result from the loss of talent and internal knowledge seem to be avoidable in this situation if they just worked things out over pay.

My company will not hire people back after they leave.
