Stop in for a cup of coffee

At the beginning of our shift, one of the department leads came and shook my hand and said goodbye... He just quit...

I've worked for him a few times in his department and he liked me... He was a good guy, but is sick of the BS treatment from management and came in to quit today....

He looked so happy, like someone who just got released from prison....

I hate to see him leave, he was a good guy... But I can't ask him to stay on my behalf... I will miss him, but fully understand why he's leaving and hope the best for him....

So now on our shift, 3 out of 4 departments do not have a lead person.... :wtf:
Step up and take charge? With a commensurate pay increase of course
