I worked in the medical industry for 22 years before I retired to be a 'homemaker'. Pretty much the only way to get a raise was to change jobs. In 22 years I worked for the same people over and over again, changing jobs back and forth has salary and beni's were offered. Always seemed kinda silly to me. but...
If i stayed with company A, I would get a .10 (10 cents! a dime!) raise a year. If, however I went to company B, then returned, my raise could be as much as $5 per hour more. Would I do it. HELL YES
