I don’t disagree, but to say that you can’t afford to do it for one year in order for the long term gain is sad. It’s short term thinking. I have a family of 5 and we can survive on $3,000/month take home. That’s not saving anything for retirement, college, etc but if I had to do that for 1 year to make $150k+ for the rest of my career it’s a no brainer to me. See flensr’s post above.
Also, statements like “I can’t afford to make less than $150,000/yr” are read by management as “I can’t afford to go on strike for very long, if at all.”
