And Then There Was One

I just heard that Jonathan gave his notice today. He's going to Health Catalyst, like so many other ex-PeaceHealth developers. Jonathan got a raise and will lead a team building web applications, which sounds like a great opportunity. Of course, that leaves me as the last remaining developer, maintaining 150+ web applications developed by ten different people over the last couple decades.
I stumbled down to get myself a mocha, half joking with the barista that she could slip something stronger in there. I had a nice chat with Dave, who I've worked with for a long time. My old boss Glen, who works for Health Catalyst now, sent me a "hey, think about working here" email. I responded, expressing an interest in at least figuring out what my options are.
While I'm still in a bit of a daze, I think I'm going to ask for a raise (I didn't get one last year). I'll also see what Health Catalyst comes back in terms of job opportunities. Assuming I stick around at PeaceHealth, I'll need to go into emergency mode, taking care of the most critical issues while training up a new web development team. I do occasionally think about how devastating my departure would be to PeaceHealth. My company hasn't exactly treated us well the last few years, so I have mixed feelings about how that would turn out. Seeing something I had such a big hand in creating fall apart seems a little sad.
Anyway, I'm going to keep pondering options and talking to people. We'll see how it goes.
