Nine years ago, my wife was laid off one morning when she walked into her office. She was head hunted to clean up some big accounts and keep them going. It took her about 5 years. The week she was let go, they had her train a new girl to push papers and keep the accounts going. She had two weeks and was told to finish the training. I got the phone call from her about the situation, and I told her to tell her boss that was her last minute and leave immediately. He got upset and request that she stay and finish with the new accounts and close the deal. He demanded that she finish training the new girl. She turned around and said keep your two weeks pay and walked. For the next few days, our phone was ringing off the hook with questions from her office. I had to grab the phone and deal with her boss. I told him that she was now a consultant and there will be a min. charge for phone calls to the house. Her fees were $250 per hour. He didn't deal with that well and was freaking scream at me because he now has to pick up where she left off. He had no clue how things work. I say screw them unless they treated you fairly. Edit, we had kids after that and she's a stay home mom now.
