An employee at Ubisoft quits in style.

Good flash. I heard all the same things when I quit my job. Still an unemployed computer scientist, but sometimes you just got to escape. A professor once told me to be wary of the "golden handcuffs" or getting too complacent and comfortable... I saw what he meant. Guys with 10+ years of industry experience sitting around doing nothing and incapable, after years of atrophy, of doing anything of importance, but still collecting a check. I had to leave. It's the worst time to do so, but you don't see the living dead, your future, and stick around. So, good luck on your future ventures.

Now I'm sitting in a customer's office and looking at my invisible but oh-so real golden handcuffs. Something to think about on the week-end...

Hell, he'd probably even be able to put that on his resume.

Being able to take "that leap" against all the in-game nay-sayers, actually felt as real as the day I left my job of 5 years to do it myself.

It starts with people saying "Lets dream!" "We're going to touch the stars!"

Then it evolves in to "We need more time." "We're going to have to cut things."

Then after that, it switches to "We'll never ship on time." "Gotta get it out regardless."

And then the final jump off the cliff will be off the stock price chart.
