Several years ago I gave 2 weeks notice to my manager. I had found a better gig. There were no issues whatsoever when I left. Well several years after that I find another gig and used that manager as a reference. He gave me a bad reference because I left in the middle of the project. I was stunned! I asked him to lunch because I thought we had parted on good terms. Turns out that my leaving was such a big deal (unbeknownst to me) that they were contemplating lawyering up to get me to stay. I told him that I had no idea my position was that critical noting that there were others in my team who could pick up the work. He said that I was the main architect. Well anyhow, we made ammends. Several years later, I'm back working for him.
