My new job is... interesting.

[SunnyD]

This is turning out to be an interesting job. Not really for the work, but for the situation. Yesterday, I went out to lunch with a few of my co-workers, who were abnormally quiet as we drove to the restaurant, at which point I find out the other primary developer quit just before leaving for lunch. This for the most part leaves me as the only main product developer left in the company, as the third dev's last day was about a week ago.

How fun is this... I get everybody's projects now! Yay!

If the rats are leaving the boat, so should you.

They obviously know something you don't!

Maybe they felt SunnyD is so much better than they are, they jumped ship before they got fired.

Somehow I doubt that.

When the going gets tough, the smart jump ship. The tough get tangled in one of the sail lines and drown when the boat sinks.

That is interesting. How long have you been at this 'new' job? Did the bosses ever mention that you might be replacing people when you joined?

3 months and nope - both were rather unexpected departures.
