Without a doubt. They could have retained me and I still would have kept looking. The money would simply be a short term catalyst. I am truly unhappy where I am now. Which sucks because this place was amazing a few years ago. Corporate took over, restructures out the arse happened and we are now left with a husk of the former company and no morale. It's soul sucking.
I am just disheartened no attempts were even made to keep me. I am the sole IT guy here for 200 users. Mind blowing they'd rather just shop around for some high school kid to take over and quit because it takes a year at minimum to learn the infrastructure. Factor in day to day tasks, projects, etc and it's a 4 man job. Oh well. Fun watching companies burn internally as well.

I was in a very similar situation my first job after getting a degree. It was a software company that was started by our parent companies owners son. Even though it was a Corporation, it still had the small "family owned" company environment. When I joined, it was probably only 5 years old, and most of the original employees/management were still there.
About 9 years later, our parent company decided we needed more executives and installed new CEO and Directors. Our original CEO was demoted to CTO. Then they decided to outsource my department (after paying us RETRO OT averaged over the last 4 years). Funny thing was that when we got laid off, they outsourced a Temp Agency to hire us and use US for that outsourcing.
I got let go from that Temp Agency when I didnt respond to an after hours call to let a Vendor into my server room fast enough - I lived 30 minutes from work and the Vendor had left before I got there. Total BS
But the good thing is, from that point on, I said SCREW Corporations and did my own thing...I always hated the feeling of not knowing if my employment was on shaky ground, the back stabbing and the butt kissing that comes with corporations.
