And it's not a dick move to use another job offer as leverage to get a raise?? That's the real dick move.

If word gets out and other employees see that all they have to do to get a raise is go find someone to offer them a job which makes the company give them out of cycle raises, you might as well throw out your salary administration structure and just rely on other companies to set your salaries for your employees.

I always had enough confidence we were paying a fair salary to not be blackmailed into giving out raises just because of the OP's situation.
