At 80k I was a Sr level employee that could go and come as I pleased and not be responsible for folks under me. I could be gone on 3hr lunches and no one would care and I'd walk back in the office and WISH a mofo would question why I was gone so long.
But as a $100k employee I'd been member of "management team" and have to keep tabs on 6 to 8 folks under me and deal with the same bullshit I put my mid-managers thru
no thanks
I've just learned to surpass that salary level by becoming a more autonomous Senior-Sneior level employee so I don't have to babysit nobody but I get all management level benes including performance bonuses.
