I'll counter-point this a bit ... not for the exact scenario you're talking about but I have twice recently turned down offers that were better in terms of cash comp, but not better jobs overall. I've shared those offers with my employer and they've responded with bumps accordingly. Because I had turned those offers down, it wasn't an engagement issue but notice that they were not competitive in terms of the market for what I do (which is a small pool).
