No. What you are doing is settling for that amount of cash. And with your $22,000 partial pay restoration, you need at least an additional 50% pay increase to put your career earnings back on track. But you're happy with a strategy that continuously touts COLA type increases to bankruptcy/emergency pay as "success."
