Thank you for sharing that. I am floored.

Do you have some time to talk? You don't have to, and it'd be a big favor to ask for your time, but I'd love the opportunity to dig in a bit more because this is really surprising to me. Even in the kind of crappy market we had a year and a half ago, for asking politely for a small raise to result in being told to take a hike doesn't compute. So either I need to update my priors (important because I don't want other people to run into this!) or there are some extenuating circumstances here.

I reviewed my email exchange with them (I am an email hoarder I guess) and it isn't as bad as I made it sound. I added my email to my HN profile, feel free to reach out and I'd be happy to provide you a copy of the email exchange.
