Comment on should I go back to my old job now that several people, some of them more knowledgeable than me have told me they don't understand my decision to quit it?

Some people care more about money and titles than personal well being. And there’s nothing wrong with that, for THEM.

By demoting yourself, THEY think that you are now less of a person than you were before because you don’t have any extra letters after your name.

But really, a 2% pay difference is nothing, and you’re essentially making the same money to do an easier, less stressful job that results in YOU being healthier than before. They might actually be a little jealous.

And that’s why you should always ask yourself: Who has a problem?

In this instance, the old coworkers have a problem. OP does not have a problem, or at least did not claim to have one. Therefore, OP does not need to be looking for a solution.

This is also a conflict of values, not a conflict of needs - meaning that OP should just do whatever the fuck they wanna do.
