    Giving raises? My employer quiet quit that more than a decade ago. Meanwhile inflation and price gouging march on.

      What proportion of people have jumped ship in the last ~8 years as a result? (Understand you could have good reason for sticking around.)

        It’s a very small company. About 1/3 have moved on. The attraction is that it’s relatively accommodating for other things in your life.

          Ahh, flexibility definitely compensates for a good bit of opportunity cost. Know people who stay in easier remote jobs to avoid the responsibilities and demands that come with moving to certain higher-paid positions.

            There’s also freedom from corporate culture, which I have had enough of in the past. Overall I think I’m happier keeping my perfectly tolerable job in its place and earning less, though I can see how others make a different choice and would negatively judge what I do.
