Sorry I'm a little late to this game but here's my take:
You're young and driven enough to build a new reputation at FCA so that argument is pointless.
As you said, you HATE the layers of management where you are so don't let the flatness of FCA deter you.
A company that would shit on you for wanting to leave to better yourself is not worth your loyalty and continued efforts.
You've wanted to leave for awhile, don't get cold feet now that the opportunity is wiggling in your lap.
There are benefits to working in a flat organization beyond title promotions. We're pretty flat here and when my job changed to I suddenly found myself reporting directly to the president of the company, my cool bossbro, who has been great to work for and facilitates my growth in my new position. That wouldn't be likely to happen in a very vertically structured company.
I know, "wrong:
I really appreciate you taking the time to drop some knowledge Thanks dude.
I officially accepted the offer, gotta do background/drug screen but I'm not worried about that. I really want to take some time off, so I think I'm going to quit on Monday. Boss wasn't in today.
It's one of those things that I really want to do face to face, but obviously that didn't work yesterday. Wondering if I should just leave all my work stuff in my desk when I leave today and quit via e-mail...
Any time man. Glad to contribute.
Good decision is good.
I vote no on quitting via email. I say use the rest of today to get all your shit in order and DISCRETELY start packing up your personal shit and bring as much home as is reasonable without looking too obvious. You should take the high road and leave your work shit organized and ready for someone else to step in after you It's the Karmic-ly right move. Then drop the bomb Monday morning and quickly pack up and ake what little shit you have left. They're going to want to hustle you out pretty quickly and you don't want to forget anything. Then you have the rest of the day to yourself to get at Tony's.
Where are these mangos?

You're right today Ron. Might want to extend your play and knock off work and pour yourself two fingers of good scotch.
I'll have some Ardbeg tonight!

The timing couldn't be any more perfect.
They just reconfigured our floor so we all had to move desks. I took everything I wanted home and threw away the rest as did everyone else around me. I could leave right now and never come back and nobody would notice.

My guess would be that Chris took some time off because he has read the dialogue on this page 1,345 times and decided to spend some of his free time doing something besides beating a horse to death.

Kinda sorta... Too many variants and less cars
True. I'll keep the car alive. Aside from I probably have the most WHP in one car on DFD.

WHP bro. Camdalf is pushing 510 crank depending on the factor you use for drivetrain loss.

Resurrecting from the dead to not make a new thread...
As some know, I've been in the running for a new job at a new company. Got the offer, money is great, title is fine, negotiated for more vacation so I don't lose any, all seems good. I go to quit and my current boss goes on and on about how big of a mistake it is, how I'm resetting my reputation clock, and that I'd be walking away from a really bright career future. So I ask to detail the career future and he talks about reaching this level and that and that I'm destined for it if I just stick with the company. I ask for a specific timeline, he of course says that's impossible to give. I expected something like this from my boss, I'm extremely undervalued for what I do and he knows it. I've been here for 5 years now in different roles, I'm hardly "job hopping" IMO.
That said, I can't disagree that I've built a really REALLY strong reputation at my current company. I'm trying to do everything possible to not burn any bridges, but it seems like no matter what I do I'll be blacklisted here, which is unfortunate and also a reason I considered leaving in the first place (the culture is insanely good 'ol boy, old school like that). As soon as I officially quit, I'm walked out the door as I'm going to a competitor, so it's a delicate situation.
Financially, it would take me 5 years of 3% pay increases to reach the offer I've been given...and assuming I'd get 3% raises at the new place...the gap is tangible. Even the next level up at my current company probably wouldn't get me to this job offer money. Current boss of course is telling me to ignore the money because I'll make it all up later...which could be true but far from a certainty of course. Opportunity for promotions at new place is admittedly limited because the organization is so flat. I agree with that corp structure in theory, but I don't know how I'd handle potentially little movement.
I'm posting all of this to gauge any one else's experience with such a thing. Foregoing built reputation at a current company and whether or not it harmed you in the long run.
! I am hopping onto this thread just now and likely catching this late. Congrats dude!
May relocate to San Antonio for approximately 60-65% raise, full relocation and a promotion within my current company.

Just get a place in the nice part of town. There's definitely a right and wrong side of the tracks out there.

You need something purple with a wide body.
I think you're right. That's more my style.

He's not here today. I could leave it for him over the weekend.
I’ve always said that the best place to shit in someone’s desk is the second or middle drawer. It’s the least used, but typically has something important in it, and will have a good amount of time for it to percolate and permeate.
