Is it normal when you give your leave notice, the boss (and colleagues) take it personally that much? It's unraveling more as I'm leaving that I'm working in a hell hole.

It tells you that you're making the right choice that's for sure.

I wouldn't call it 'normal' but it happens.

Aren't you supposed to use your overtime and holidays, and get a sick leave from your doc for the remaining time?

@Fast-Nop Yes, apparently. I'm still young and fucking naive.

@Fast-Nop 👀is that how that works?
I thought we saved em up until that 10 year mark, and cash em out with long service leave and retire early?

I'm doing it wrong then 🤦‍♂️

@C0D4 I wouldn't trust anyone to actually pay me decades in the future for overtime that I do now. Mergers, bankruptcy, whatever happens.

Maybe they love you a little too much to see you leave

It is a red flag for sure... Or well... Green flag since you left?
Happened once to me in Milan, the senior dev started to look at me like a psycho. I honestly thought he was going to stab me... Either way making a phone call as soon as I stepped out the door and to walk very fast was mandatory.
