I arrived at work today and checked my email, I was shocked to find out that our tech manager has resigned. Apparently he decided that he couldn’t no longer tolerate late payments. I think we are about 2 weeks behind now, which I personally think it’s not too bad, my previous employer didn’t pay me for a lot longer. Plus our boss is actually open about the financial situation and stuffs.

When someone who holds important role in the company resigned, it always makes me re-think my own position. Tech leader is going to leave the company as well on June/July, that would leave the company with no senior tech people, I would be the 2nd most experienced developer on the company by that time… I am ok with design and implementation of small scale web applications, but when it comes to designing multi server applications, I don’t think I’m up for the task yet.

Would I be forced to resign too, I wonder.. I plan to stay here at least one year, since there are a lot of things that I can learn, but I also don’t know whether I will always be ok with late payments (not that I think that this will be an ongoing problem). I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.
