This is the Way it Goes

I talked today to the corporate wine buyer about general grocery/wine/work issues. At the end of our discussion I asked him if he knew I had given notice and that my last day was Friday.

He said, "I had heard that, but I was hoping you had changed your mind."

Here's a clue, if someone you want to keep employed gives notice, you arrange a meeting with them and give a counter offer. You don't just sit in your office far, far away and HOPE that person changes their mind.
