If they want a 45 minute catch up call I feel like that's not bad news

Remember when you were waiting to hear back from college admissions? Regular sized envelope meant rejection. Big, thick envelope meant you were accepted. This seems like the big envelope.

Crap, just realized universities probably don't send real mail anymore and y'all have no idea what I'm talking about.

3 years ago I asked for a compensation review/raise, went through what felt like a ridiculous 8 MONTH long process of defending why it was warranted, only to be told no. 3 months ago I asked again and it has gone nowhere. I should add that salary bands are kept secret and I have no clue what the range for my position is. There are a decent amount of benefits in my position, the biggest being WLB, which is what has kept me here for so long. But I’m getting frustrated. What would you do?

I just recently resigned my teaching position for a position in another state to be closer to family. I will be making a lot less money (about 1/2 as much).

Anybody ever found themselves in a similar situation? I gave up tenure too. Honestly, I wasn’t happy living in my home town making the most money I've made. I guess it’s a leap of faith!
