Well, they were switching architectures and wanted to retain me in a contracting capacity. They'd offered to keep me on but I was ready to move on. I got a nice severance and I'm still receiving contract income from that client. Getting my final check soon.

Doing all that without a contract in place would have been tough on them to say the least. They had another Rails consultant lined up to replace me, but I was a lot cheaper.
