Downvote record [was Re: James is a …]
Wow, 137 downvotes (and counting) in the 7 hours since this commentardary was posted. Is that an El Reg record?
209 now.
Thinking about situations like this, I'm happy for two things:
1. No one I've worked for has ever done this, there's been some hand-over time with my position ending a week later or so.
2. I have sufficient cash in the bank to live my present lifestyle for more than a year.
Point 2 means it's feasible for me to go "out of contact" for a month or so whilst I take a nice long break, then do some quick re-training if needed and then get back into the workforce. It's really the only true insurance policy against this kind of disloyalty.
Professionalism and loyalty are both two-way streets. By default, I will show both, and only withdraw if either is shown to be lacking from the other side.
