I've seen this before so many times, and recommend people quit and sometimes even apply back at their same company.

I got my friend a 30% raise after he quit, worked at a new place for two months, it blocked implementation of key projects and the CEO started freaking out.

I asked him how much he would pay to fix the problem, and he gave me a number. I said if we paid that as the new salary to my friend we could have him working there in a week.

The CEO made the call in front of me lol.

That’s a great tactic. I’d love to use that, but I’m afraid a lot of leaders are not rational enough (or have to big of ego’s) to hire the person back

It really takes a big desperation for money to allow such ego death, absolutely.
