That’s exactly it.

When they said that there’s a lot of money on the line, they meant for themselves since they were partners.

They offered to share some of it with me, in the shape of a very generous 3% contingent salary increase.

I’ve been learning to grow veggies, cook dry beans, and bake bread since money is tight after I resigned, and my partner and I are way happier because I’m not as stressed out from dealing with sociopaths and morons at work all day long.
