Thanks for the (non) reply

When you submit your resignation, it's tradition to reply, isn't it? (Needless to say, I'm grateful for the confirmation of my decision.)

When I was leaving San Diego, I had submitted my resignation to my boss, but she sat on it, and didn't really tell her boss I was leaving. When I said something about that to her, she replied that she was hoping I would change my mind. I had already given notice at my apartment and rented a new one in the Bay Area. She really hoped that I would stay instead...

I don't think she really believed I would leave till I was walking out the door... I had a few friends act the same way when it came to me packing up the apartment and renting a truck to go...

Oh heavens, if my BOSS sat on my resignation, I'd be gobsmacked. No, this was just a concomm, but still, I'm kind of put out that no one seems to either notice nor care. Oh, well - certainly confirms my decision, doesn't it? :)

Have you actually detailed what led to this anywhere? Because I feel like I've only gotten about 25% of the story.

I haven't much because I have to be careful on FB. Here's fairly safe, though

So, at that point, I knew I was done. The sneakiness alone is bad enough, but a non-collaborative process where no one is consulted, and everyone's hard work is ignored or re-written? Nope, count me out. He has every right to do it that way, of course - he's the one that signed the contract and is on the line for the money - but that is NOT what I signed up for, so my expertise and I are leaving, thank you very much.

So I was going to inform him when I saw him at a social gathering this past weekend, but he wasn't there, so I sent him a brief e-mail yesterday just stating that I was looking forward to the convention, but that I was withdrawing from the committee, and I've been met with silence since.

(OK, that was longer than I thought. Sorry. Hee!)
