It's a pretty strong signal that your opinion of the value you're providing is not shared by those who are making the decisions. Regardless of if it's their own ignorance or not they aren't going to suddenly change their feelings about it.

Oh yeah, agreed; I quit the moment it happened. What I mean is now I'm sort of wary of the same situation re-occurring at the next place I work.

People aren’t all the same. It’s easy to forget this.

And it totally makes sense to be wary! That will help you pick a better place next time.

Although, to be fair, the average place probably closer to what you describe, meaning there is a limited supply of high quality places at the top end of the distribution.

> That will help you pick a better place next time.

I'm convinced there is no means available to an employee to "picking a better place". Last time I job hopped, I tried to do that — and largely, I think I succeeded. But company leadership changed, my good boss left and was replaced by a terrible new boss (who has since also left, and been replaced by a less terrible boss) … so what I evaluated when I joined is no more.

And that assumes I can even truly do a good job of evaluating a time of joining … I tend to believe I got more lucky than anything else there.

The only constant is change. It sucks esp when later in career and just looking for stability, but it’s just the way it is.

Reduce expenses, earn as much as possible, save and invest wisely, and remove your reliance on the system as soon as you can, is my advice.
