>And I wouldn't expect anyone in that position to give me two weeks... If I never need to cross that bridge again, what do I care if it burns?

IMO that makes them an asshole.

But, to your point, sure. If I have FU money then depending on a lot of things including what arrangements I could make with an employer, I might well choose not to work for someone else.



Agreed. A rich, independently-wealthy asshole. But there's also a difference between my moral judgements and my preparations. I can hope someone won't be an asshole, but I will prepare for it.


Sure. And again this comes back to the bus factor. If someone disappears off the face of the earth for whatever reason that will hopefully not precipitate a major crisis at any company with more than a handful of people.


I never said anything otherwise? I'm unsure what you're trying to get at. Are we just agreeing with different words?


Yeah, we're agreeing. Hope for the best, expect the worst.
