I’ve painted myself into a corner with the skills I’ve acquired. The job isnt common so the few of us in these roles have to leave completely in order for a vacancy to open up.
In theory I have transferable skills, but in a job that’s more common there will be more people with those exact skills competing for those roles. So by comparison, I become a risky hire in a sea of perfectly qualified candidates.
You’d think this means my “lucrative skills” are fairly compensated, but I assure you they are not. If I don’t get a raise and I complain, they remind me that I can leave if I’m not happy.
It’s in my nature to work hard regardless of my salary or working conditions, so I’ll never “quiet quit” or “act my wage”, but I understand why a lot of people do.
In theory, yes.
