35 years...last 10 on STANEVAL or in a Staff job imposing disagreable policy on people who generally thought it was all my fault! No wonder they forgot I was leaving.
Didnt feel hurt! It was only what I had come to expect of a service that has become polarised by self serving career chasers or disjointed by frequent detachment workloads.
Been gone nearly 18 months and I bet neither of us are missing each other! I've never looked back, running my own business and doing OK! No third party career enhancing initiatives or strategies to implement, its sink or swim time and its very bracing.
Times have changed and so they must! I reckon any of the services are only good for 12 years max and then its time to move on. Lets face it, in the outside world its less than 3 years before you start to look ragged around the edges and its time to take your worn out ideas to another company.
