That way when the writing is on the wall and they ask you to train your Bangalore replacement you can tell them what to do with their job. If 25% of people walk away without training their replacements in IT things will get really bad really fast. And it doesn’t involve anything shady on your part. Just say no and walk away.

You should be doing this anyway. To build up yer 'emergency fund'.
Things are already really bad in Payments. Major outages and a CIO was fired. Not going to get better as India takes over with little understanding of banking. It takes more than IT knowledge, but with Agile, failing is ok... God Bless

"They are incapable of quantifying lost opportunity, the mental drain, etc vs their perceived emotional “win” of sticking it to The Man."
Lost opportunity, emotional win? That's is some funny S**t right there.
I'll ask the question. Who in their right mind would turn down severance after decades of work, a few years from retirement, job prospects extremely low coupled with the rampant ageism out there, and an overall lack of desire to reinvent the wheel and go through a transformation again? That is what you are not understanding because you aren't in that space.
Your spare parts, bud.
@OP+1szg0voI Your post doesn’t fit the narrative the idjits want to follow. Just look at the replies. All anyone cares about is getting severance. They think it’s some sort of lottery windfall.
They are incapable of quantifying lost opportunity, the mental drain, etc vs their perceived emotional “win” of sticking it to The Man. Except this company doesn’t know they exist and don’t care about paying the paltry sum of a maximum years salary to go away. Those holding out for severance just because are the equivalent of dumpster wh0res you pay to go away after doing the dirty knees dance.
years ago I started building my savings up starting with 3 months of cash flow and now at 6 months. I use this for emergency only and it sits in a high interest savings account paying over 5% at the moment.
Nice try, Chuckie.
Nope. Unless you’ll pay my severance.
