@Voxera indeed it was. Been holding out for 3 months to make sure I get paid to the end of the year!
Thank you! -
@Jaspreet3480 If they treat you badly after accepting your resignation, its extremely unprofessional behaviour on their side. Resigning is a personal choice, and must be respected like other personal things.
If they had an issue like not enough time for training the new recruit, they should've discussed it with you and handled the situation gracefully. -
@ethernetzero Ikr. I think that comment is what got to me the most. Do you think that little of me that I'm that stupid?!

@HighTurtleDev You have 3 months to make random Doctor Evil comments in response to stupid statements they make. Also, you can refer to whoever you train as mini-me.

@Demolishun yes this is genius! Who knows when they will hire a replacement.. I'm the only dev so eh...

@bols59 he can worry all he likes! :)

@netikras standard is usually 1 month. I tried to leave 18 months ago but decided it wasn't the right time so had to agree to a 3month notice period so if I decided to leave they had enough time to find my replacement as I'm the sole dev. They also wanted to try and make it harder for me to leave. Didn't work though 🤣

@AurumMan79 This can really, really depend on the company. I quit my job recently and I still hop by sometimes to say hi, grab a coffee and fuck around with my old boss and the guys because I, in some way, do see them as some kind of family :)
(boss did his very best to keep me (in a good way) but respected my decision to leave) -
A funny turn of events. An apology from the boss in question and a retainer signed so they keep me for 4 days a month for almost the same money as I was earning full time. They've decided not to hire someone else and to just outsource to me. Essentially just trippled the hourly rate they currently pay me 😏

Everything is going as planned
I resigned yesterday to focus on my business full time. After 5 years and 1 previous failed attempt to leave the company, its finally done.
My boss threw his toys out of the pram and was borderline abusive about the whole thing. "it's like a kick in the balls" "you've clearly been planning this (said in an accusatory tone)" "you've said you were leaving before which is why you have 3 months notice now (to which my response was, and that is why I am giving you 3 months notice?!)"
Along with many other comments and general angry tone.
Honestly, I couldn't sleep the night before as I was so nervous. We're a small company and to some degree, a kind of family so I didn't want to break that. The more he spoke though, the easier it got. It simply cemented by decision to leave. They made no attempt to keep me. Showed no support. No gratitude for my 5 years of service. Nothing.
Well, you will be down your only dev in 3 months so good luck, I suspect you'll need it more than I will.
