    I get this, but as an aside I am a bit amazed that it takes some people converting everything into monetary value to see this.

    IMO having healthy life balance should be the goal, my mental health doesn’t have a price tag someone can just pay for and take from me.

      2-3 extra zeros added to your annual income?

        That’s a silly hypothesis. That kind of numbers only exists for jobs I am absolutely not equipped for (like, I have some level of empathy).

        But I did choose a comparatively less stressful job with pretty good benefits, and I knew looking for an equivalent job in big corporate would get me at least 50% more in pay. Not regretting any of it (especially now that this job market is all over the place).

        Or Luigi actions. Fear is a great motivator. They want us to live in fear of job loss for healthcare, see how they like a flip of the script.
