Actually your "side" never cited a source. Again, looking at your comment history, I see you telling a lot of vague stories and criticizing other people's sources, but you never provide a single source of your own. In your entire history, you reference exactly two distinct urls neither of which has any salary or benefits information at all.
If your job is as bad as you seem to imply, then I certainly hope you heed people's advice and find another. But I'm beginning to suspect that you're being intentionally misleading for some other purpose.
Multiple times in this thread and others, you link to a list of large government contracting companies: http://washingtontechnology.com/toplists/top-100-lists/2011....
And then, a long time ago, you linked to a dice posting in order to ridicule it:
