Disappearing from an important role

Have you ever had a boss that just, disappeared forever? I’m leading a software implementation project and a team of about 6 people. I’m keeping most of the show going, but obviously the other 6 are doing a lot of work. I do a lot of client interaction.

Have you ever had a boss that just, disappeared forever?

I’m leading a software implementation project and a team of about 6 people. I’m keeping most of the show going, but obviously the other 6 are doing a lot of work. I do a lot of client interaction. I also do most of the interaction with people who work for another consulting company on the project.

I plan on disappearing soon, and not going to give anybody at work a heads up. One day I just won’t be there. I’m treated pretty well and enjoy my job, but I can’t share with coworkers that I’m going to disappear.

I think a lot about what would end up happening when I do this. Would they figure it out in hours or would it take days. Would they meet deadlines with me gone.

I’ve also considered sending a farewell email in the middle of the night to my company (not to my client). I’d keep it short and sweet, something like “some of you know me, most of you dont. Take care.” I think some people would take the hint. I think it’d be a cool last move
