Out of money reply

What a turbulent week! I got an offer from another company and my old one didn't even try to hold me. I cannot say much about the new company because I just met the CEO and the head of development. They are pretty cool guys and seem to know what they do.

Compared to my old company, where people just said things like "we've always done it that way" and "that's what I did 30 years ago - that's nothing new!", people in the new company are really engineering software.

The act of quitting was pretty cool: "I will quit today because I received a better offer" - "ok".
Three hours later there was a meeting, reorganizing projects. No counteroffer nor what so ever. I think they knew I will quit, as I complained a lot about internal processes the past few month. The working climate became very bad since they started a project in down under. Also the lack of support for ideas and productivity improvements made that decision easy. The interesting thing is, that all people with a degree leave the company.

I'm really sorry for the projects I was working on, especially BHL. It will become a really cool app and the people working within the project where super nice.

I am not allowed to tell the project partners that I quit (I still can put it online, can't I). I am also not allowed to tell people anything about how we actually work (I had that in the post, but removed it) ... just think about that
