I looked at her calmly.
“I understand.”
“You’re putting us in a difficult position.”
I almost smiled.
“No,” I said. “I’m leaving my job.”
She stared at me.
Then she asked the question I had been waiting for.
“What would make you stay?”
I didn’t answer immediately.
Because six weeks earlier, I would have said a raise.
Maybe $70,000.
Maybe $75,000.
Now?
It was too late.
“I’ve already accepted the offer.”
