Had a call from work today, with a work question. I have really not had any of these in the 6 months since I left. However, the person who took over most of what I did has also left now, as of last week. I will admit that I was very disappointed with that development as I had spent significant time with him so the knowledge I had built over decades would have a champion. And he was competent and knowledgeable, but decided he wanted to take a few years off from work. Any work as far as I know. So he didn’t just jump to another engineering job. They have hired a replacement, starting soon, but they won’t have the same inside insights that come with time.
I actually enjoyed sharing what I knew about the specific question they called with today, and I did know the answer, without hesitation.
Sort of an anti-work sentiment, I guess
