Yes, and it’s the reason I’m still employed with this company. About 5 years ago, one of the executives wanted to replace our homegrown software with another product. No one really wanted to switch, but she was insistent and said she would take full ownership of the project. Once the product was in place, they would let go of the development team. So most of the team saw the writing on the wall and left during the implementation of the product. I was also interviewing for new jobs when all of a sudden the executive quit. We were only 1/4 of the way through and no other person wanted to take responsibility so the project stopped. I then told them I was thinking of leaving, and they made me an amazing offer since I was one of the few remaining members of the team. We actually all got huge raises to stay. I’m still wary and keep active at networking, but it’s been a comfortable day job.
