1-3/4 years ago, my boss retired and I contemplated extending my retirement out another 3-4 years by applying for the job. I didn't get it, so instead, they hired someone who just wanted to be a figurehead instead. The B.S. bucket overflowed with them giving me some of the boss's duties. I contemplated quiting in July, but figured after September would be the least painful. I planned on giving 2 weeks notice, but with all the people who have left, they want me to help hire and train replacements.
Conclusion:
Today, I turned in my notice that I'm leaving at the end of the month. I also opted out of hiring any replacements. All told, 10 people will have left this division this year, out of 12 positions under this boss. Counting mine, 6 positions will be vacant if they don't fill any this month. Any reasonable person would realize they have a problem. These supervisors can't see past their noses.
So, I'll be exploring my options next year, retirement being the only one under consideration. So on to the more important question, am I a member of the Class of 2013 or the Class of 2014? Or do those who quit on 12/31 get to be members of both?
