Quotes to ponder:
"You are an economic unit. You know your job is to maximize the resources you have at your disposal to lead the best life you can lead."
"If the only reasons you can think of to stay with your current employer are monetary, and your work life is an important way in which you define yourself, it's time to take a hard look at your situation."
