| Jan 11, 2017 at 23:24 | comment | added | WGroleau | For what it's worth, I left a good position after ten years because I was one of the best troubleshooters they had for certain systems, but they wanted to promote me to management where I knew I would not do well. And in another job, a reorganization eliminated my boss's job. He accepted a lower position because he just wanted to stay in the same company. (Great place; I would have done the same.) | |

Bad management move, I guess. | |
