Yeah I agree normally but I have a very open relationship with my CEO (I have a dotted line into him), and he's always said to tell him if I'm ever thinking of leaving for any reason.

Those things are easily said when the company is flying high, you are making lots of money for them, and you are seen as indispensable.

I would be very careful with your tactics going forward, unless you are 100% happy to walk. As I have found out through my ongoing 32 year professional career, nobody is indispensable.

Edit - you came on to ask for advice, and then jumped in to threaten your resignation. There are a few wiser heads than mine on this forum. When seeking advice on a sensitive employment topic such as this, I would listen very carefully. Rarely are threats a useful negotiating tool.
