Comment on How would you evaluate having more pay vs an easier job?

Not sure I’m following your point. If someone doesn’t give me a raise, doesn’t cut hours but I get my job simplified- what’s the problem with that? The only caveat I could see is if you have a job that you liked because of the challenge, and having it easier now equals it is unfulfilling. Similarly if you see an easier job as future reduced opportunities. But, if you just have a job to survive or that you are ambivalent about, I don’t see where the problem is.

It’s the question of raise vs simplified. Not no raise but you you want a simpler job. But if you had to choose, which and why?

Easy, do I get a sense of achievement with this job? Is it part of my identity in a healthy way? Then, raise
Do I just do the job because I need a way to pay the bills? Then, simplify. Less stress has a massive health impact
Am I desperate to pay bills and debts? Probably raise and side hustles and overtime I don’t know
