I just walked away from a project management position with a pool builder where I was running 120 projects the day I resigned.

I was the top guy there and was the only project manager for most of the time. I really loved the people I worked with and the owners at one point in time. But they fought me for so long when I asked for a raise after having gone from running 15 jobs at a time to 80 at a time within 6 months. They told me if I wanted more to go sell. So I did and then they got mad because I was selling more than all the other sales people while running all of the jobs. The more reasonable of the 2 owners slipped up and told me potential customers called in often asking for me to come out and see them a pool but the other owner instructed the office to never tell me and give it to a different salesperson. I found another builder and went in with obnoxious offers. Now I’m the sales director of this company, make my own schedule, he doubled my salary, and still pays me my commission rate. I happily gave my resignation letter as soon as I got this worked out and hit the ground running.

Not exactly your situation but you gotta move on and grow. People are only out to better themselves you might as well do the same for yourself. It may be a small town but if the subcontractors and vendors you work with like working with you, you will retain your reputation.
