I have read your blog since you joined the management gang. This can be a exceptional chance for you, who knows? Quoted from Steve Jobs at stanford: "You can connect the dots only looking backward!" Good luck man. Whenever I quited a job for any reason I found a better one and it helps me to grow up. I have read your blog since you joined the management gang.

Sadly, the only time I've been terminated (as opposed to moved on), it was a bankruptcy, and I didn't have to sign anything or get any kind of severance, so it was remarkably paperwork-free. More of a "Well, we're not going to pay you anymore, so you might want to look for another job" arrangement. ;) So I don't really have a basis for comparison, but it still sounds pretty ugly to me.
