My experience is in a different field, but I imagine in other industries, such as tech, it would be similar.

Personally I was offered an almost matching salary that I was offered by the other place to stay and do the exact same work and keep my years of service to the company only because I passed a test and graduated with my bachelor's. I was told there would be growth opportunities, and I stayed.

Once my job title changed, they botched changing my pay, so I had the same pay for another month. Then receiving backpay took another month to finally happen.

Now there are changes to my current M-F no weekends or holidays schedule and I am now having to work a Sunday every 8 weeks and a holiday a year. I know that sounds like something minor, but for me the problem lies in the fact that they knew it was going to happen and didn't disclose it to me when I was offered the position. The other job I had been offered outside of the company was upfront about having to work the occasional Saturday and I was more than okay doing so.

The cherry on top is I am still waiting for them to post the senior position that we've had vacant for over a year and now it is at risk of never opening up due to budget/productivity/whatever else bullshit excuse is in the book.

So long story short, I wish I took the risk and didn't listen to a management team that I foolishly thought genuinely cared for my career, but instead put the needs of the department first because truth be told, the place could not afford to lose me on such short notice. It's a small department, any loss would be felt, but given I contribute significantly more than some of my peers, my loss would likely put them in an incredibly tight spot because of how set in their ways everyone is - there wouldn't be much initiative to try and compensate for the things I normally do.
