I've had several employees come to me with your situation, telling me they have a job offer paying more. Every time I've said, "You should take it. We'll miss you."
The ones who came back to me and said they wanted to stay I just told them "Sorry, we've moved on and you should, too."

Seems like a dick move
I've made a few moves and once or twice I really did want to stay put but I also knew I couldn't pass up the pay increase being offered. However each time I had prepared myself to leave if the current employer didn't want to match. I was never once told to pack my shite.
I assume it varies depending on the job and the industry but in my industry it's not uncommon at all for guys to use leverage and the managers know it. They also know that good help is hard to find and expensive to keep so they don't seem to mind that it happens.
The radio guy was definitely right. Some of the best employees that had been there the longest were the most underpaid by a lot.

Really? It seems to me like you would want your employees to come to you with that kind of information. It seems more respectful to you for them to say, "Hey look I love working here, but XYZ is beating down my door and offering $xx. Would you be willing to bump me up closer to that?"
