We had a great convo. The biggest part of his issue was his work schedule. Including his vacation time / sick time / seniority he was essentially working 4 months a year and pulling in 400k. Hard to walk away from that.

We are far from done talking, he has no idea who he is dealing with (me) I have a business idea birthed from our convo regarding the real reason I was there.

Something both of us may benefit from.

Most don’t have that deal, but sounds like he’s already semi retired if he’s only working 4 months out of the year.

When I told my boss that I was going to quit he asked me to stay on for six months to help with my replacement. I only had to work till noon, no nights or weekends. I’ll admit that that wasn’t to bad, I had hired my replacement and he really didn’t need my help. But that was never a long term option.
