AIBU to be furious with their offer?

For the past few years I have been working in a role that was a new role within a team. It didn't exist prior to me joining so there wasn't anything to benchmark it against. It was up to me to develop and grow the role. It quickly became clear that the internal level of the role, and the responsibility and requirements listed on job description had been drastically mis-calculated. My employer agrees that it should really be split into 2 roles (although it hasn't and I'm still left doing it all). My pay is very low for the amount of work I do. Similar external roles pay £7k-£10k higher than mine, but they are hard to come by.

I have bent over backwards for my company working extended hours in the evening, doing bits on weekends, etc. I juggle many balls and projects at a time, and this has been recognised by others in my team.

I asked for a salary increase which they agreed to.

My issue is that employees receive an annual salary increase (essentially a small adjustment for inflation) that varies YOY. This year it was just over 3% for employees who performed well in their role.

Instead of the standard increase of just over 3% they offered me 5%. This equates to just over £600 extra a year on top of the standard increase I would have received anyway.

AIBU to be furious with this offer?

I'm going to have to start updating my CV aren't I? Sad

Why the loyalty?

If you are being under payed significantly, yes you look for a new job.

Get a 10k mire job offer. Them instead of going in with your notice letter, you go to your boss and say you've been offered a job for 10k more but don't really want to leave (if that's true) so is there an option to match or should you provide ypur notice letter? You'll know 100% from that if they were ever going to offer you that much.

600 a year is hardly worth the admin. I'd be furious too. I'm willing to bet that if you give your notice they'll miraculously find an extra 10k or so to offer you then.

Similar roles elsewhere pay more..

Easy answer there then.
