Just to hammer this home, at my last job, I was planning to transition out slowly, wrap up projects, document, etc. I gave some actionable feedback when they asked why I was leaving in the meeting to discuss that transition.

I think it was along the lines of “you now have 2 engineers and 8 people managing those engineers. It seems you have a retention problem and are management heavy. You also have some great engineers you promoted to management who likely have something to do with the bad retention. Maybe they should start coding again.”

I was fired on the spot. Gave me a month to leetcode grind, so I can’t complain.
