My previous employer knew I was going to quit long before I told them. But then, the fact that I was sending out resumes was probably a huge hint. I started sending them when I was a little disgruntled. Eventually, they heaped crap on me until I got serious about it and found a new job. Not once did they attempt to do anything to stop me, and asking them to pay me what I'm worth was met with, "Can you wait a year?" This, despite the fact that every review I ever got was great. Not just good, great. The only complaints I got was that I was too quick to answer questions literally. If someone asked if something was possible, I told them. They wanted me to read their minds and ask the question they should have asked, instead of the question they did. I eventually learned to do that, even, though. I have to admit it made things smoother. But jeez was it a pain.
