Great reframing Jon! This is lateral thinking, I would never thought this approach with yield the same benefits. Great lesson to draw that there's always another way!

Thanks Oscar! I haven't heard the term 'lateral thinking' but I like it.

You embody it very well with all the reframings you propose, happy to know you liked it!

This is such a helpful reframe and one I want to adopt! There’s a certain point where more money (though nice) isn’t necessarily the solution we actually want. And I like the creative way you found more money without actually needing a raise. Particularly helpful to keep in mind in the current job market!

Thanks Michelle! Totally agree that this reframe could be helpful in a world of contracting budgets and layoffs :)

Thanks for the feedback Mitchell! I imagine this line of thinking will be cyclically helpful as the economy expands and contracts :)
