You can try to negotiate, it doesn’t hurt to ask. I was able to get an additional few weeks by stating my case while a former co worker was able to negotiate an additional month of healthcare. State your case with everything that you’ve done

You don’t have leverage unfortunately. And you don’t want to blackmail them either!

Cost cuts? Where? What part of the business? No layoffs happening right now if not performance based

It’s not performance based. I’m literally transferring my knowledge to someone in a lower cost center.

What firm?

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
