It's wild that you're still in contact with your former employers.
Literally every single one has "fired me" and escorted me from the premises after I put in a 2 week notice.
You can leave a company on good terms.
I also highly recommend not burning bridges. Even if they were a shit storm, 2-3 years later you might change your mind.
I have. I didn't do anything bad to any one of them. I would like to think I was a top performer but they all somehow take it personally that I want more money than they wanna pay.
If I can get a new job by leaving after 2/3 years and increase my pay by 20%. Why would I stay for a 2% COL raise? Inflation was 18% last year...
One got upset and said "I don't know how to process this. I thought you were a lifer..." and then escorted me to security.
The vast majority of employers are critically out of touch with reality.
It’s like they cannot process what might be of critical importance to employees, and think that a foosball table and pizza parties can somehow pay our bills.
Maybe he has good friends in the Exec leadership.
