You've hit my point exactly. After a season and he's quitting! The season has been good and he's quitting!!! I'm not interested in people like that. Have not time for it.
Relate to to anything. Just cos I may have had a bad day at the office I wouldn't turn round to my boss and say "here's my notice". You learn, develop and grow into your role. Clearly he didn't want to. No strength!!
To be honest, it's a shame BUT ....I am not interested in having a manager who says he will resign and we then decide to keep him. We need someone dedicated to the cause. Just saying
