My ex did that when I was in college. He moved to a higher position in a different department, and texted me when we got our next pay asking if it was right. It was $2.00 more an hour, so it was a significant bump and I started panicking. I thought they messed up and he started laughing. He requested it as soon as he knew he was taking the new position and it was approved right before he left. He wanted it to be a surprise, and it was actually one of the nicest things he'd done for me. (We dated on and off for years, and we were both with other people at this point)
Meh.
Hail Odin.
