I've had to change jobs in the past. A sudden job loss would be difficult; but I would have moved on if they hadn't given me the adjustment. I'm still getting offers that are similar to my new pay. Once I spun up my jobs network it takes awhile to spin back down.

I'm not a hard negotiator and I frankly don't want to be. I prefer to give a little when I can, and I'll just move on if I feel I'm being abused. There are too many other opportunities to stick around where you don't feel appreciated.

I’m glad you’re not actually that on the edge - I hope you believe it when push comes to shove and don’t forget.

In many cases, not feeling valued means you’re not getting the value you could be - and that can literally be millions of dollars over a career difference.
