I could argue this with you Bonzo, but it would require bringing you up to speed on SCRUM and agile development in general.
I didn't leave anyone in the lurch. And in SCRUM in particular, your team has to be the first to know.
I wasn't talking to you I was just making a general observation. So many people want to tell their boss what an idiot they are and it usually works against you in the long run. You seem to have taken a pretty level headed approach in protecting yourself and still handling thing so if even if you aren't leaving on a good note at least it is neutral.
Mea culpa. It is the outpost, easy to assume you are looking for an argument.
I kept it professional. Have gotten multiple emails from executive management expressing their regret for how my situation has been handled and wishing me well in my future endeavors.
I was always taught you finish how you start - with a firm handshake and a smile.

Will they try hard to convince you to say, throw offers at you that make you wonder if you're doing the right thing? Are those offers REAL or just a cover to keep you on a few extra weeks and then can you because your bosses are pricks?
I've had jobs offer me more, when I quit. In a polite way, I told them it was kinda insulting that you didn't offer it to me before, since you knew I deserved more. This I think will get me annoyed the most during transition time.
I had this happen to me recently. "  ou're doing great work and we'd like to give you a raise, but things are too tight right now, sorry." After several reviews of hearing that, this last time I told them that I was quitting. He immediately started talking about how "Don't do that, we can work something out, let me talk to my boss." I told him not to bother because I didn't want to work for someone who only gave raises to employees that threatened to quit. I even got a call from his boss the following day offering me a raise, but I refused and told him that he needed to learn to treat his employees better.
A lot of managers have taken advantage of the economic situation to really put the screws to their employees. As we (slowly) dig our way out, all that pent up frustration from employees is going to bite them in the ass. As more and more opportunities open up, employees are going to bolt for greener pastures.
This is happening in my company right now. Several people have left for other jobs, simply quit or outright retired in the past several months. In one area of my shop, 4 people are actively looking for other jobs or are preparing to retire within a years time. That would be 4 of 6 in one of the most critical departments in the building.

Wise words Tali. Good luck with your new job!

I've always found it odd when people go out of their way to leave a job on as good a terms as possible.
You are quitting, for a reason. Chances are pretty damn good you are never going to return.

It's a small world. And an even smaller city with a very select group of people in my industry.
Chances are better then good that I will run into these people again. Or need their help in the future.
That you are remembered well and respected will matter then.
