Part of me accepting this role was getting a reference check from my current work. DUHH!

I'm not going to lie to my boss and tell them I didn't get the role. And then BAM just walk away.

Besides, our CEO held talks with my boss and wanted to know my position with the company in the year ahead.

Some people actually hold respect for their work. Not sure if that's how you do business Translator, but it's not how I roll.
