I left because during a time of high inflation, the government decided to break their own law about paying average wages. During a time of high inflation in the early 1980's, we were given a two per cent pay raise, when average salaries climbed much more than that. It amounted to a twenty per cent pay cut. So I voted with my feet and left.
