This isn’t the time to walk out – despite all the signs telling you to run as fast as you can. You’ve been burned so many times in the past that it’s really hard to stay put, but staying put is exactly what you should do because circumstances are realigning in such a way as to benefit you and you don’t want to miss out. Whether it’s a severance package, a generous settlement, or a disaffected superior who’s going to take you with her as she starts afresh somewhere else you would be well-advised to wait and see what happens on July 22.
