I know what everybody is worth? Where did you get that? People are _all_ worth what they negotiate. You are projecting.
Your second paragraph is just repeating my advice to never accept counteroffers. You're right, take the new job instead. Tying up loose ends and replacement training aren't your problem. The end of first year raise is sure to be bigger than the 'year after extorting a fat raise' raise.
FYI the 'raise budget' is a senior management wish. It's your supervisor's job to make that wish come true.
I once personally took about 150% of the entire department 'raise budget', then the PHB told the rest of the department they wouldn't even get COLAs as I 'took it all'. Sense the bastard started the conversation, I told my irritated coworkers I took 150% of 'all' and they should all jump up and down until their balls dropped. Only the bulldyke took my advice.
But it was a counteroffer, it was a mistake to accept it. I was gone a year later anyhow, which likely turned out better. Guessing based on enterprise size (I fit better in small to medium). Still higher previous pay is always a better place to negotiate from.
When things are hot, they move pay grades up, without even considering raising the pay of existing employees in those grades. I've found no exceptions to this rule. They will pay what the market demands for new hires of dubious quality, while giving small raises to proven staff. Only a fool would hang around.
Just not too often, got to make the jumps worth it.
Never burn your coworkers, not the good ones anyhow, that's were good new opportunities come from. Fuck the managers though.
your raises will be less than everyone else's until you reach parity with your co-workers.
You work for a government or some such hell hole.
The problem you have is you think PHBs can tell what you're 'worth'. Your worth what you negotiate, simple as that. All future raises are based on that number, not just last year's number.
To get a good raise out of the bastards (over 10%, not early career), you basically have to have an offer on the table. It's virtually always better to take the offer, you're the hot new hire, not the disloyal extortionist. Between those jumps, you have to accept the pittance COLA they give.
Scrum is pure shit though. That's usually what PHBs mean when they say 'Agile'.
A good team will produce results regardless of formal methodology, a bad team can't be fixed with daily standups or _any_ other simple step. They will just game it into a time waster/excuse for not getting results. (e.g. I'm hungover...don't want to work today. Gonna restart an argument in the standup, that will burn the morning. Everybody will have zero productivity, not just me.')
Companies will only pay you more when you change jobs.
Work hard, care about results etc, but always be ready to jump. Loyalty to a company that will kick you the second they think they can replace you for a penny less, is for chumps.
Also never take counteroffers. The new job always has better future raise prospects. All raises are based, at least in part, on what you got coming in the door.
Not measureable. There are lots of places that, due to their geology, have higher than average background radiation levels. They don't have higher cancer rates.
I've got a cheap little 40 foot tower with a 20 foot mast. I can bring in channels clearly from LA to Chico. Over the Sierra when the weather is right.
If I were doing it as rolling troll, irish child fire stoker. Perhaps something like a K5 blazer with the top off, so the stoker has a legal seat. Not that this contraption could ever pass CA smog, have to find an early smog exempt one...

I said 'take away hiring', specifically technical hiring. They can keep pushing paper and admining benes, the things they are not terrible at.

Lighten up, it's a joke on Ratzo.
The 50 million MS paid to DEC is surely less than their prospective shyster cost was. Nuisance lawsuit settled for nuisance money.
That's what all the sock puppeteers say.
So your position is nobody has done cancer rate studies in places with high background radiation? That tells me you can't be arsed to google.

And you had to put your soul into escrow.

When hiring other programmers, yes. HR people are _clueless_ at the task.
HR people are the _cause_ of HR problems, not their solution.
The solution is to take hiring away from HR, they can manage benes etc. All they're good for.
Agile is a manifesto, full of truisms.

Obviously, PopeRatzo is SlaveToTheGrinds sockpuppet.
Why else would he 'go middle school' in response to being called a mental child?
Knowing how to do something is not the same as using a former employers code to do it.
If you don't know a better way to get the thing done by the end of a project, all that proves is you haven't learned anything new.
You're saying Pearl is Skynet?
Assuming they've set an ambush. If you're just passing each other, things are different.
Most people are right handed.
Left side of the road to have your sword at ready for strangers.

The operators could easily add a tuner and antenna terminals to the cable box and raise a finger.
But that's just to make it seamless, everybody's TV already has the tuner.

Sure, if I were doing it as transportation.

Beer warehouse, duh.
We'll hack bluetooth controllers into them. Day one.
Have you seen the price of whale oil lately? Of course markets decide, technology drives cost changes, some things can't compete at all.
