I had been working at my previous employer for 7 years, 8 months, and 9 days, so it's been a lot less, but it's been a far different experience here than it was there. In many ways, I like this place more - mostly the people, and in many ways, I like the last place more - mostly the business logic and drive.<\/p>\n<p>But I've done a lot of good work here. I've done a lot of enabling as well, but that's part of the deal, and not my responsibility. As a worker, I'm supposed to carry out the wishes and plans of my management - so long as it's not criminal or business-threatening. It's management's job to make sure what they are asking me to do is what they need me to do, and will derive value from it. That's the contract.<\/p>\n<p>So as I go through my last day today, I'll be thinking about all the things I <em>might<\/em> have done, and all the things I won't have to continue to do. As of right now, the advantages of leaving are far outweighing the disadvantages, and I'm honestly looking forward to being in a new group at the new job. The dynamics appear to be a lot more to my liking, and that hopefully bodes well for a better fit.<\/p>\n<p>So it's the Last Day. The King is Dead. Long live the King.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been 451 days, that&#8217;s 1 year, 2 months, and 24 days since I walked into The Shop and started working.
