This could be true, but it could also be the case that op was underpaid and their current company knows they can’t replace them for less than the new salary. I would lean toward leaving just in case but definitely don’t know what the current company is thinking. The companies goal is always to pay the least they can to fill the role, not giving out raises is how they do that, but when push comes to shove why not pay the person who’s about to leave the same you would a new person?

I'm actually set to be make more than most other supervisors to my understanding at my current employer and have more seniority over most as well.

being in the beginning position at the new company gives you more room to grow than being a senior supervisor at the current one. Sounds like at the current job you will likely be red-lined against future salary increases due to the bump now.

If you think they would be able to replace you at a lower wage I would recommend you leave. If you don’t then it’s a bit more complicated

I don't think they can because they have used up the pool recently on other positions.

If they fire you in 3-6 months. They now have your salary to give to someone else.
