IMO, you stuck with THEM through some tough times and they've done what they could to show gratitude, toss you some perks that equal real money, and now hit you with a substantial raise. A good employee/employer relationship is give/take on both sides.
Good for you

Thanks man, glad you understand. It's been a long F'ing road here in the office and at home.
Sometimes loyalty pays off, congrats Stosh.
I remember when Flatrock did a 33% cut across the board. I took it along with all but one engineer there with the hopes it would be short lived. It wasn't until after a few years I ran into an ex coworker and learned that the only person who didn't take the pay cut and was still employed was the CEO. The fact that he asked us all to take it, but didn't take it for himself made me a bitter bastard.
In contrast, our CEO wouldn't do that sort of thing.

Good point. It pays sometimes, though it's generally less and less valued from an employers perspective, IMHO. Of course that also varies - smaller employers seem to value loyalty. Got a 20% raise a few months back, but starting in 2013 my health insurance premiums now cost me 20% of my salary... At least I'm losing less now.
