Any ideas would be appreciated. Also how do I fight back since I wasn't given any options to protest being banned off of Twitter?

I programmed for around 20 years. I called it quits when the company never replaced anyone that left, and just started dumping more work on my desk with no pay increase. It simply wasn't worth the mental stress at this point.
Did u enjoy doing it though. If the pay and work load was balanced?
I can understand why you would quit that's not fair
I loved coding. Logic was my thing, my niche. But I began to realize that I was nothing more than a slave to the corporation. It was eat, sleep, drive, work. Nothing to motivate you. The best programmer and the worst programmer got the same raise, no matter whether the company had a good year or a bad year. Promotions were extremely rare. It was soul-crushing. I finally said, "Enough!"
The funny thing was, everyone from the director on down was shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that I left. I got called into my boss's office and the directors office wondering why I was leaving. They were that clueless. Naturally, there was no offer to better my situation. Leaving was the best thing I ever did.
So if an opportunity ever came about you would wanna get back in that field if the purpose, pay and appreciation was right?
I might consider it -- it would all depend upon the circumstances. One of the main problems with my last job was that it never, ever changed. Same thing, different day. It was mindnumbingly boring with no end in sight. I was, indeed, a slave.
