"Bosses refuse to talk to me about it", if you have given them reasonable time to consider your request there are a couple of realities to consider: 1. They may not be able to meet your request (ie their hands are truly tied). This could range from they believe you are already at the upper end of salary 'bins' for your position or they do not have the money. There are many reasons, and you will not know which it is, and whatever you think its likely wrong. 2. They aren't in your corner, at least in this issue, and potentially believe that giving you a raise sends the wrong message about near-term performances (this could include "tough" talk about "stupid" ideas or outright confrontation that is causing them headaches). No "thank you" for working weekends is another example of headache generators as it represents crossing the professional/homelife boundary. Bosses don't want headaches.

You should apply to other positions, it sounds like you are frustrated... or worse get some enjoyment from being frustrated. It is in your best interest to not be this way, and it can give you some illusionary ego boosts that are toxic.

From someone who has treated most jobs like a lifestyle, a job is a job and you shouldn't be more invested than this.
