Walking into a hand grenade isn't a nice thing. I've done it also and it was a lot of work and inhibited forward progress for months so unproductive for the company. I've caught a few hand grenades and thrown them back too...I like doing that. You know, holding people accountable.
Look, lets just agree right now that if in a few weeks they beg me to come back, doubling my salary in the process, we'll go halves on the money ok? I think that's fair. You called it here. I'll keep you informed. Lol. (You know I'd not go back even if they did though right?)
I'm looking forward to some breathing room. :)
