I received my Sapphire Reserve bonus points March of 2017. Based on the 4 year rule, does that mean I could technically cancel that card now and then apply for a Sapphire Preferred and receive the sign up bonus?

Discovered major pay difference between myself and two new male hires with equal experience. Asked for a raise and was shot down due to Covid and essentially told they make more (were talking a 30k) bc they don’t have my “other responsibilities” aKa my two kids. I know my productivity is effected by parental responsibility but I don’t feel that alone justifies the difference. I know our billable output isn’t drastically different. Not sure what my next steps should be and welcome any advice.
