You're not happy at TR, I get that. You basically have two choices. You can stay here and continue to be miserable every single day of your life or you can leave now that the job market is for the first time completely favoring workers and find a place that will treat you better. Why do so many of you choose the first option?

I was told many decades ago that the way to really make money in corporate America is to change jobs often. You could stick around and get a $1000 a year raise or you can go to another company get a $10,000 raise.
I get where you are coming from. The benefits are great. We all want TR to succeed. But……we want a piece of that success beyond a 2%-3% “raise”. Why should leaving to get at 25% pay raise be the norm. Why not reward your hard working employees. But I get it. Squeeze as much as you can to keep the share price up.
Well to each their own. I’m off to be overemployed. Only way to get a raise is to get a 2nd job.
Thanks, Dad. Instead of your condescending "real talk," acknowledge for instance that TR knew exactly what it was doing when it gave vacation/benefit time that exceeds many other companies' offerings. Giving up 2-3 weeks of vacation a year is a huge "ask." Why other companies, even if they pay a fair bit more than TR, don't offer a mere fraction of that pay in the form of decent vacation leave is beyond me. And realize that (for now) many people are vested in the pension.
@OP+1dwbQ2Ku - You omitted the 3rd option - collect and check and benefits while you're looking for the next opportunity.
