Sounds like you made reasonable decisions.
at that point I have lost the trust factor so I again declined
I learned this too, the hard way.

Well done, IMO.

We all have priorities in life, and carrying at work to me is a plus but not a necessity. If carrying at work is worth 8500 a year to you, well then maybe you should stay where you are. For me, I can think of a few more things I could use the money for to help the family.
I am with you. I feel no need to impose my will on others. I would not expect an employer would change a major corporate policy simply to suit me.

A while back I was involved in negotiations with a government agency (not LE related) that would have required me to work in a courthouse, which equals no carry. Had the money been right, I would have taken it.
