I have. I didn't do anything bad to any one of them. I would like to think I was a top performer but they all somehow take it personally that I want more money than they wanna pay.

If I can get a new job by leaving after 2/3 years and increase my pay by 20%. Why would I stay for a 2% COL raise? Inflation was 18% last year...

One got upset and said "I don't know how to process this. I thought you were a lifer..." and then escorted me to security.

The vast majority of employers are critically out of touch with reality.

It’s like they cannot process what might be of critical importance to employees, and think that a foosball table and pizza parties can somehow pay our bills.
