Ask HN: I did not get pay rise – as only person in team. Should I quit?

Hi.

I'm sole developer working in some niche industry in team with 9 engineers.

Today our CEO announced that 80% of people in our company (thousands) received pay rise(due the inflation etc.).

It is first time in 4 years that I did not get any pay rise.

Just month ago I asked(via email) for feedback from my boss and he praised my skills, ambitions and working speed.

Reason that I did not get pay rise might be that I'm not afraid to criticize some stupid ideas, and I'm very offensive when it comes to handling projects (I lead, and I work hard). So I often have some silly(very short lived) conflicts with some of the engineers.

I love my job and industry, but I often have problem with my team (non programmers) and I lack "emotional" support form my boss(no "thank you" for working in weekends for example).

My boss refuses to talk with me about it.

Should I just quit?
