As you mentioned, it doesn't pay to be submissive. Yet it's a rather difficult situation because the department is new and there's no reference point to make even in the market. I've fought for plan in package revision at end of this year but just unfortunately some of my team members have run out of patience already...
I try to avoid giving them an increase after their resignation is submitted - otherwise it would become a precedent where the management lose control. The situation is a bit complicated to handle.
However, the underlying problem of reward system must be fixed asap. Frankly, if the business chose not to reward the right people, I would not keep them here as I also want them to have a good future. And if it were the case, I would be leaving very soon as well - by then they are too late to regret.

Did they give you more money when you notified them that you were resigning? Did your staff get more money when she recently resigned? Did she decide to stay because she receives more money now?
If you don't fight for yourself and for your subordinates, you won't get respect or loyalty from them. It doesn't pay to be submissive. Your staff will only see you as a lame duck boss.
Thanks for your reminder. Actually, I have also thought about it, whether there are things that I overlooked...

Why am I so sure about this?? People like the atmosphere of my team because some leavers returned to my team, some other department's staff also requested to join us. Also, my colleagues did complain about the fairness issue - and most importantly I once wanted to resign because of this reward system, too!
原來做上級都都不是很好受~ 要煩這麼多...
