I want to inform my team of my decision to leave current employer. However, I want to do it when the best parts of the team are in the office. I'm not going to schedule a teams call or let people join remotely. I am going to have a conversation and let them know of my decision. I simply am going to tell them what I've told everyone else... I've been doing this for 20 years. I want to pursue other ambitions and now feels like the right time. If I don't do anything else, I'll never doing anything else and I no long want to put pursuing those goals on hold. It's been a good run. The station is getting new flights. I've done my part - I got us over the hump and the company is again investing in our station.
With my departure I am assigning more to my team and stepping back little by little as other irons in the fire are starting to heat up.
Another interesting tidbit. I had a meeting on Saturday with a friend plus an industry veteran. The veteran told me one of his favorite jobs was working for a company that installs devices on motor vehicles allowing people with disabilities to drive. I sent him an email today thanking him for spending time with me and notified him the position he enjoyed is available and gave him the link to apply.
If I go the road and open my own shop, I may have given away the opportunity to hire him. At the same time, if this is a job he really enjoyed, he might like to do that again. I don't remember if circumstances to him leaving were discussed as I didn't make note of it.
