I have decided, rather than straight out quiting my job, I will offer my services as an independent contractor, at a rate 2.5x my hourly rate with them. Should cover my insurance and taxes without affecting my lifestyle. I've been virtual for 20 months now and my work hasn't faltered and there is no capacity within to replace me. Also, they already do this for a worker in another country, because they need him. I feel I am in a similar situation. Cocky? No. My speed and knowledge in my field surpasses my counterparts on many levels. I trained 4 depts in new software as a new employee. I am the only person in my dept to have received a bonus 4yrs in a row. I will walk if they mandate. It's been made clear. The independent contractor idea has been dropped as well. Let's see how they play ball.
