The fear of losing my balls gave me some.

My wife is a teacher

Their bonus offer: no annual pay raise (didn’t do one last year either), but instead you get a one time payment of 500 dollars. That’s hardly 1.5%. I told her to just quit. With minimum wage getting increased it would be easier for her to be an hourly worker. The stress would be lower, and she would work way less. Pay wouldn’t hardly change at all. Wtf is happening to this country.
