Look dudes, stop whining can?

If you think you are worth more than what your current employers are paying you, just up and go. Since you think you are worth more, you should have no problem getting employment outside that pays more.

I always told my whining juniors this. Some will leave to explore outside and many will return with tails between their legs. Either way, I feel that is the best remedy. Those who did indeed find better pay outside are happier for it, those did not and came back are now more accepting of their "worth".

Poly salaries are decent. They allow a working couple to afford a decent quality of life, own a condo, a car and annual vacation overseas. So really, if you think you deserve better just get out the door.
