I know what you mean, but I think there's an alternate way to look at this.
Every time I've moved jobs, I really look at it as firing my boss. The process is pretty much the same as firing someone:
* First, I voiced my concerns and gave my boss a chance to improve.
* When he wasn't improving, I began searching the job market to find his replacement (my future boss).
* After a few interviews, I found a replacement that was a really good fit for the role of "my boss".
* I let my old boss know that his performance had not improved enough, and I was forced to let him go, but I wished him all the best in his future endeavors.
* I gave my new boss a start date, and so far everything is going great.

- dvtrn 6y agoAdding to that, unless they’re your only customer, firing one customer means you’ve only lost a % of potential future income. Firing your boss, and quitting your job altogether-unless you’re moonlighting, getting passive income elsewhere or accepted an offer before quitting-most commonly means losing 100% of future earnings until signing onto the next job.
