Why is it a headache when an employee compares offers, but ok when a company tries to pay as little as they can get away with?
BTW, this only works if you're willing to leave for the much better offer. It sounded like the OP was unhappy with his pay. Nothing wrong with that. From what I've seen, though, substantial raises come from switching jobs and counter offers. If you're happy with your work and pay, then by all means stay.
