dude went into panic mode trying to keep me. I had to tell him him best attempt at money...still wasn't in the same galaxy and when you added benefits and perks...not to even waste his time. I worked my last two weeks like a soldier, even though I wanted to stay home and lamp. They were scramblin trying to find a replacement. Shit felt so great.

Shoulda shown all that appreciation before. I was with my company for 13 years and they stopped giving raises around 07. In 08 they laid off about 10% of the staff and the cut everyone's salary by 15%. They slowly gave it back in the years that followed and i was able to get a slight increase from my original salary with a promotion.
When i told them dudes i was out, the owner said i could have any position I wanted and to name my salary and he would give it to me. I was like nah, i'm good. Dude was dumbfounded. They laid off more staff and went through a complete overhaul 6 months later.
I was like i'm a good employee but i wasn't that good to be writing my own ticket. It was obvious them dudes was cooked.
That 1.5 weeks notice was the best 10 days of my life though.

in my scenario above, I was doing double duty (technician and service writer) never demanded a raise, never complained and took a lot of bullshit from the worthless shop manager that I didn't have to...all in the name of being a team player. One day, I just decided to stop selling myself short and put out some resumes. Got scooped up almost immediately. They were in a state of shock when I peaced out. It was so fuckin delicious.

I walked away from my j.o.b. a few months ago, and it's been roses since.
someone else on these boards also recently gave notice and it's gonna be fresh for them (but i don't think the boards know, so i'll keep it quiet for now).
