So, I have a buddy leaving at the end of the week, he's been here 3 years, been underpaid by about $25k/yr and got sick of the 18 hour days,middle of the night phone calls, the lack of change, and the complaints about stuff he missed even though he's been doing at least 3 people's jobs for the price of less than 1. We are both process engineers in a manufacturing plant.
He's happy to be leaving, his last day is Friday, I personally don't give a crap about the company beyond my personal growth (and plan to jump ship as soon as my experience allows), and when they complain about things not getting done my general response is hire more people and sometimes its whatever. Maybe I am a little bit jaded, but whatever.
What I want to know, for any of you psychologists or people who really enjoy their career, why, with 3 days left is my buddy still letting small stuff irritate him immensely? Why is he still staying here 14 hours a day? If it were me I would just stop caring leave after 8 hours and at the very best inform people who will be here after I am gone in 3 days about things that need to be fixed, which of course are things that always need to be fixed and never change.
Is it a passion for the work thing? Is it a character thing? Any thoughts welcome.
