"You don't know what you've got till it's gone!" Except in this case, we're not talking about a parking lot. We're talking about this Redditor, who worked as an engineer for several years before putting in his three months' notice. Yes, that's right. Three Entire Months. That, of course, is more than generous.

The worst part of this story is that during OP's final week on the job, he got conflicting directions from his supervisors (who wanted him to leave a detailed document outlining how he did his job for his future replacement) and his boss's boss (who kept throwing new tasks in his direction). Clearly, the higher-ups at the company are only just now gaining an understanding of how valuable OP always was to the company. Well, guess what?! As JoJo would say, it's just a little too late!
