Goody. My boss is quitting, after 19 years here, leaving me and one other guy as the only two programmers for our division.

The amount of added responsibilities we're going to get stuck with is, to put it mildly, absurd. Dude did a buttload, and was on call about 95% of the time. So we're going to be expected to...do a ton more work, and be on call 24/7.

I can pretty much guarantee they won't be increasing our pay (which is already low by industry standards) to compensate, though I'm going to be pushing for it heavily. Honestly, even with a drastic increase in pay & benefits (that again, in my experience with this company, will not be happening), I'm not sure the headaches he had to go through would be worth it.

Time to pick up the search for a new job.
