Step 1: Assume nothing.

2: Voice your opinion directly to your supervisor in a respectful manner, and ask for follow-up.

3: Wait for follow up and track any changes made to processes or whatever.

4: Give a reasonable amount of time.

5: Then leave.

If you skip to 5, you're not really trying to fix the problem. You're just jumping ship - that's not a solution, really. Being an adult professional in the workplace requires you to confront problems directly.

Who's talking about comp? While that's a perfectly valid reason to leave, we're talking about interpersonal interactions between a manager and an IC.

What do you think usually causes ICs to begin looking for new jobs in the first place

Not pay. Almost always because of issues with management/other workers. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/employees-dont-leave-companie...

>Most bosses are aware of the issues

This is not about compensation.

Leaving for compensation is absolutely a valid reason. Again, though, the same rules apply. Express to your employer you have received a job offer at X% more, with X improved benefits, and would gladly stay for a match. The worst they can say is no, correct?

Either way, the original conversation was about issues with the employer/manager. Not necessarily compensation.

I feel like that’s a bell you can’t unring though. What if they say yes? How can an employer possibly trust you don’t just go looking for an even better deal in a few months?
