[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My field is pretty niche. There are only a few places where I could do the exact type of work I want to.

I am interested in the work/field.

I know how to do my job....but there is enough going on to make me think so I am not just a robot.

I like my co-workers a lot. I hear a lot of horror stories about horrible co-workers.

I have a lot of vacation. 7 weeks. I don't want to start over with 3 and in my field negotiating leave isn't an option.

I have decent flexibility. Need to leave early for a kid thing? No problem.

Been here 18 years with no plan on leaving. DH says he won't be surprised if I retire from here....in 15-20y.

I was in a similar position, but things can change overnight. The Csuit hired a new managing director, who brought in a whole new team of 30 within a year, and dispositioned my direct manager's influence. Most of the senior IC people left, 8 month later, most of the mid-level IC left too.
I made a move, joined a great team, but not for long. a new policy came out and our team was less important than before, all of the mid-level employee left by end of year 1. I got slapped with the bottom of forced ranking and had to leave unless I want to stay at my level for another 1.5 year to be eligible for raise consideration again.

OP here - yes, I can see something like that happening and if it does, I will leave and find something. But I am going to ride it out here until there is a re-org or $hit goes awry. [/quote]
