I retired from a huge corporate IT career at 48. I won't say low level management is paid to BS....but they are

. I had that carrot dangled when I was about 25....no thanks

! I never, ever asked for a raise, and left all four of my gigs on "my terms".
"I can replace this job before you get the available opening to HR....for a LOT more $"

.
Every manager I ever had knew it too....except one

.
It's YOUR career....
