    This is how I left my first job. Literally the day I planned to hand in my notice, I had an email from the secretary of my boss’s boss. Big meeting with lots of management - also a pre-meeting beforehand to chat. I waited until management went over in the big meeting that we were deep in the shit, but Forgottengoldfish is going to go over there and fix everything.

    “Um, well - I can do a few things in the next two weeks.”

    Next job tripled my salary - never looked back.

      Just a heads up mate, you used a different username in you story than your current one. Might want to change it to prevent linking identities.

        One day while goofing around in the web UI, I set my name as Carnival Prize. Even I get confused still. But yeah, the actual username matches. Thanks for the heads up.

        I think the one they used in the story is the canonical name, if I click their name above the comment it links me to a profile with the name they used in the story in the url.
