What will make you resign from your job?

Our company VP/CIO, who has been with the company for more than 35 years, has resigned. Officially it is because of family matters. However, he announced not longer ago that we are switching back to Microsoft technologies, can't help wondering if it is related to his resignation.

Well, it's possible that your boss is an idiot. Do you think that is true ?

Trying to get him to answer a question like that on a public forum... not trying to replace him, are you?

ROTFL !!! Well, his boss is scared to use something new, or scared to use stuff that, frankly, most of us are able to make work, so, what other implication could there be ?

Ah but did he jump or was he pushed? If the switch away from M$ was his idea and it hasn't been a success (from your previous post about it) that could cause at the very least a steer if not an outright push.

Possibly. Probably not though. If it were, the company would probably make an effort to keep him involved to some degree. So, you are left guessing at the following reasons: 1. a better offer somewhere else 2. politics, and he was given a golden parachute to keep quiet 3. inside information - the company is about to go belly-up 4. some serious disgruntlement. Like switching back to MS tech. :) Who knows. Take out for a "boys night", get him drunk, and see what you find out. Erm... :-D Marc

Over 35 years? Sounds like retirement to me. Also maybe the old dog doesn't want to hassle with learning new tricks and feels someone else may be better suited to lead the company forward.

Why don't you ask him, or someone close to him? :)

He was given an offer he couldn't refuse.

From watching 24, I would say its a cover up :laugh: They are trying to hide something in the current system.
And also per 24, there are at least 2 sub-conspiracies and his daughter will be kidnapped no less than 3 times in the next day. :laugh: :laugh:

That's my suspicion, too.

In my company you regularly meet employees of over 25 years, the CEO, for example, has been here for 49 years (he started from the mailroom ). :-D

I worked for a software company who's #2 guy resigned. Then the company laid off 1/3 of it's staff. I got the pink in the second third. I wish I had see the writing on the wall when the VP left.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind

Your boss of 35 years?! Mmhh.... is he going to become basket ball coach? See above[^]! :laugh:

Hey, a guy who resigns after 35 years can only be defined as an idiot. You give 'em reason to lay you off, and take the golden handshake.

Yeah, the previous issue looks suspiciously related (35 years & resigned). I can't imagine much that would make me resign without another paying job lined up. I'm sure there's something out there, probably illegal or immoral that might get me. Upper management usually has politics going on. You lose, you resign. My last job had a rediculous prolonged axe swinging which resulted in a nice severance. Very mixed feelings whether I'd go through that again...
