> I did also come to them with a job offer from another company that had a larger dollar amount associated to it.

As far as I know, this negotation strategy is orders of magnitude more effective than voicing feelings about being treated unfairly. Unless OP comes with better competing offer, there is likely nothing that can be changed in his situation.

Its even more effective — usually — to just take the better offer and leave. OP - you owe these people nothing.

In my case I preferred my current employer despite some more money from the other.

A major school of thought is that as soon as someone goes to the effort of getting another job offer, they've psychologically checked out, so you might as well let them go.

I did this once got the raise etc. The director at the time voiced the opinion that in general people leave anyway in a year or 2 time. I did leave in 1.5 years .
