In the mid 90's during the tech industry boom I was working at an electronics manufacturing company. They changed from having a day and swing shift to just having one shift (they laid a number of people off as they downsized). I was working swing shift and was moved to days. I asked if I got to keep my 10% pay difference for swing and they said no. I quit on the spot. This was at 7am. I went home and faxed my resume to about 20 different companies (I operated a variety of different machines) and by lunch time I had 5 outright offers and 3 other companies that wanted me to come in for interviews.
Those were some wild days.
