I worked for a small company, <20 employees for 10 years that required 100% travel. In the last year I got married and bought a house, that’s when I decided it would be a good time to find a new job. I had a close personal relationship with the owners and left a long heart felt e-mail when I decided I should leave. I never heard anything back from them and I’m trying not to lose sleep over it, but after 10 years you would think they would at least acknowledge that I was leaving the company.
