So one of my senior mobile engineers, the one that I previously said was working out of his RV/trailer traveling the US, decided to resign from my company. He’s going on a 6 month hike from the mexican border to the canadian border.
I was like, man that’s cool. I wish I did that when I was younger. So I tell my boss’s boss that his last day will be next week. To my surprise, my boss’s boss told me to ask him if he was interested in going on a 6 month sabbatical. I didn’t even know sabbatical existed at my company. I was told, “not officially”…. lol….[/quote]
Sounds like your boss knows how difficult/impossible it will be to replace a senior engineer. And here we are kicking around the idea that remote work is on the way out. Maybe we should kick harder so it goes away?
