God it's so transparent. I'm a software engineer, and I have first hand built software that has made my business teams and execs wealthy. I have sat there and watched them buy new audis and new houses while I'm told "sorry we can't afford a raise this year". And I know I do better than most being in software, but man do they want to keep us arguing about that while they go and buy everything while we squabble.

Release an "update" with a "bug" that can only be fixxed with a raise.
