Leaving BofA brings instant relief. Does anyone miss anything here when they leave? Apart from some good colleagues, I don't think I will ever miss anything from here.

I rarely surf this site anymore but this question hit home. I was laid off a few years ago after nearly 25 years. Most of my tenure at BAC was excellent but the last 3 years I was employed was extremely stressful due to horrendously bad managers. For two years I secretly prayed for a package and finally that joyous day came. The severance was excellent and I accepted a new job after three months of leaving the bank. I actually had three offers on the same day. Do I miss the bank? Absolutely not. Do I miss some of my friends? Absolutely yes. But fortunately for them, most have left for better gigs and we all still keep in touch. I never looked back. Cha Ching!
I only know of one person who retired (his request) last year who seems to really miss his job. He really liked his job and team.
But.... among the hundreds I know who've left over they years (rif'ed or on their own), they all seem much happier!
I can't wait!! (just saving a bit more for retirement and hoping for a package that will never happen)
