I always think of the raise at the threat of leaving in the following way:

• They could afford you at the higher price but tried to not pay you what you’re worth.
• They now know that you’re willing to leave and are less reliable. This can lead them to use the increase to look for a replacement with the time the raise has bought them.

Yep, it’s on the CDC’s top ten public health success list. I moved to a different town in my 20s that only started adding fluoride ten years prior. A dental hygienist recently told me she could tell I wasn’t originally from the area because my teeth were too good for someone my age that grew up here.

Vae victis!
