God I hate these guys who hop from one to the other job every few years. It's always the guys who talk big, and when they can't deliver (mostly because their "great" ideas will break something else) quickly leave "because this company is too much set in it's ways".

It's the only way my partner has ever gotten a raise.

It's not the only way I've got a raise. I also got a raise once by saying I was planning on leaving. But I guess that's pretty similar :)

I always think of the raise at the threat of leaving in the following way:

They could afford you at the higher price but tried to not pay you what you're worth.
They now know that you're willing to leave and are less reliable. This can lead them to use the increase to look for a replacement with the time the raise has bought them.

Doing it collectively might be a bit of a different situation, though.
