And he wants me to go with him... This was a few weeks ago but he's gone now and I can talk about it...
Have any of you experienced this?
I was hired when he became overloaded with a new business segment he was developing took off. Him and I tag teamed growing this segment over the last few years and we are basically the only two people that understand/know this segment. He got pissed and quit, leaving just me months before we get an avalanche of work that would have required a third person. He was hired at another company to develop their aerospace sector, from scratch, and he wants me to go with him.
Now, where I am, I have a huge opportunity in front of me, being the sole person that understands this work and getting essentially thrust into leading the entire effort. With that, I get to do his job, and mine, until I can hire a clone of myself.
If I go, I will never work for this company again.
My initial plan is to ride it out for a while, see where my current job goes, see how his opportunity plays out, and keep up with what he's doing.
