Reply to comment by Rokhnal in TIL about Lillan Bloodworth, who donated blood every 56 days for nearly 50 years. By the time she stopped at age 85, she had donated 23 gallons. (The average person's body contains about 1.5 gallons.) by WouldbeWanderer

Fixed, thank you for pointing out my mistake.

So 50 years is 600 months.

"S"He donated ~every 2 months, so "S"he went ~300 times to donate blood.

The typical amount of blood donation is 1 pint.

So "S"he donated ~300 Pints of blood

There are 8 Pints in 1 gallon.

300/8 = ~37.5

"S" He donated closer to 37 gallons than 23 gallons

It's an awesome movie. The best 007 movie in my book. I have the DVD and it gets used often.

That is exactly what I said. What do you call getting fewer raises and less beneficial?

The counteroffer is to help THEM, not you. They will begin to look for a way to replace you eventually. HR has been put on notice that you are out there shopping around. Also consider that at the new job, you will be "starting" at this new salary, while your current job your earning potential might be at its end.
