I think there is much more to this story than what you are sharing.
Good luck

Thats one of the MAJOR reasons I couldn't do it anymore. Begging and asking for raises... it got old after 11 years...
I mean, if you find a job that can give you annual raises (not 2 percent COLA raises) respect time off, not be on the hook all the time, allow generous vacation time, get time off when you need it and not bother you when you're off then yeah... your QOL won't suffer too much on the swap.
