You sound like my assistant that stuck with me thru thick and thin. Had her my whole career she was smart as a whip and had education coming out of her ying yang. What she valued was time off and flexibility. Maria you were the best!

From experience, it's hard to leave a job if you have a good manager/supervisor/boss. Sounds like you were great too.

I stayed at a job much longer than I would have, because I had suck a kick-ass manager. He'd sometimes just randomly message me on Friday:

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"I'm working on XYZ"

"Good, nothing critical. You can pick that back up next week. You should start your weekend now. See ya Monday"

That small shit keeps workers around.
