Class of 2015

[Philliefan33]

Good for you, Liveandlearn!

[FreqFlyer]

Updated my exit date to April. Essentially I'm done at this point as my replacement is already on-board and I've transitioned by duties.

The company has given me 90 days (paid with no responsibilities) to find an opening internally or accept a severance package at the end (additional 6 months pay plus prorated long-term comp). I'm going to take the package and FIRE!

Who knows if or when I'll take another job in the future, I'm only 43 so a lot can happen.

Done! Work life ended at 2:00 PM today. Doesn't even feel odd at this point. Certainly went better than I thought.

How was your last day?
I've noticed some coworkers starting to distance from me, which is normal I believe, and I am probably doing the same thing.

Will you sleep in tomorrow? 😎

irishgal,

As far as work, for the last couple of weeks there was some distancing, but actually the closer we got to the end, I think they realized how dependent they were on me. So today, there were lots of hugs and compliments from people that surprised me. No regrets so far.

Selling the business and retiring. Found a buyer and signed a contract. Assuming the sale closes as planned, I'm out June 15.

[TallTim]

I'm dropping out of the Class of 2016 ... and moving to the class of 2015

Life at Newco post-merger has led to the point where I am done. Formally notified my manager(s) last week and this week again (in writing) .. working out last day, but will be sometime in July, I think.

Will update post once I have a firm(er) date.

[Vireo]

Moving to the class of 2016. Fell prey to the OMY syndrome after boss called and asked me to stay until May 2016. He sweetened the pot by letting me work part time at full time salary for the next year with "work at home" days. Good luck to those waiting to graduate in 2015!

Sadly, I'm moving myself to the Class of 2016 and doing a OMY, but it's not by choice. I so wanted to quit this year and move back to the Rockies.

The company (startup that IPO'd) isn't slated to achieve profitability until Q4, which will be at the end of January 2016. Until they hit that and prove they can be profitable, the market just isn't going to reward them with a higher multiple or valuation. The fundamentals are good, and I really do think they'll do it, but time will tell.

But I'm not going to be around to take that journey with them, because I accepted an offer at another pre-IPO startup and quit. Gave them two weeks' notice, and as I expected, they panicked. But I made it clear not to waste time putting together a counter, because I wouldn't accept it.

I feel good about the viability of the new place, and they gave me very good salary and equity, but I seriously doubt I'll stay the full 4 years to vest. I can't stare at a computer that much longer.

I'll stay one year and get over the first year vesting cliff so I can at least walk away with something if they make it. But if my old company stock starts to climb upward, as I suspect it will once they're profitable, I'm probably going to quit this time next year and get out of Silicon Valley and the IT field. After 25+ years, I'm just sick of it.

I feel like a prisoner that was about to be paroled, broke some rule at the last minute, and got another year added on to my sentence.

Good luck to all the folks walking out the door in 2015. Hopefully 2016 will be my year instead and I can go from to

[LoneAspen]

Well, I start my new job tomorrow for (hopefully) just OMY until I can throw in the towel.

I'm sure they think I'm in it for the full four year vesting, but little do they know the OMY is just a stopgap measure for me while I make sure my old company's stock starts to climb once they hit profitability, and to not have to start selling a second stock grant I have there for at least OMY.

Maybe the timing will work out well. My old company will hopefully hit profitability with their Q4 earnings announcement next February. My first year vesting cliff at this new place will hit next May. My lease runs out next July. Which means I can quit the new job next June, have one year's worth of options at the new place, and about 6 weeks left before lease expires to coordinate a move back to the Rockies.

Time will tell I suppose.

[SDHiker]

Congratulations, TallTim! We are still on track for end of December, to take advantage of another quarter year of age on my pension formula. Also, we just got word this weekend that our Daughter-in-Law is pregnant and due the first week of January. Great timing! We couldn't be happier.

[ABQ2015]

My federal agency just announced that they are accepting applications for the Phased Retirement Program. You can w#rk half time at reduced salary for up to two years and receive half your pension while w#rking. Your pension continues to grow although at half the regular rate and is recalculated once you fully retire. I'm debating between this and OMY.
