Is it safe to stay at a company that only gave you what you wanted after you threatened to leave, what's stopping them from keeping you around just long enough to hire your replacement because they now consider you a flight risk
I think this depends a lot on the type of company. Large companies won't really care, but family owned businesses are a very different beast. Still, in my case (corporate) there was a gentlemans agreement that I would stay on for at least 3 years. Meanwhile all layers of management except the ceo, who started the week before he got my upgraded contract on his desk, have moved or changed and I doubt many even know what happened.
My company doesn't hire enough people to have full backups for positions. In return for that, they pay well. But sometimes you need to slam your fist on the table in order to get paid well or you will stay close to your starting salary for ages.
