You're an employee. 2 weeks notice is all you need to give. You already gave that, so move on. Why would you stay at a place that you didn't like for 4 month

Why would you stay at a place that you didn't like for 4 months? That was silly. So was telling them your business ideas. Honestly, you've got nobody to blame but yourself here.
Non-competes aren't even valid in California so just move there and start your social network for dogs.
- thrwawayaftruse 12y agoSocial network for dogs. Crap. How did you KNOW?? :) Thanks for taking the time to comment. I am loyal and think taking a few months out to help people transition isn't that big a deal. But really, it's a trait I have that makes me a good employee, but also opens me up to this sort of exploitation. Live and learn.

- reality_czech 12y agoMike O. can be entertaining, but he needs to stop taking himself so seriously. Ironically, using a sample size of 2 companies to make sweeping generalizations about "the social status of software engineers" indicates the author is not cut out for data science. Anyone who would rely on anecdotes and tiny sample sizes to draw such strong conclusions should stay away from statistics.
