I've been assigned to manage the largest and highest profile project thus far in my career. With my team fully staffed, we have a very aggressive deadline to release a beta product early November. The planning and negotiations took weeks and we are finally ready to get under way. One problem: I'm planning to resign late October, two weeks before the beta release.
The noble thing to do is to tell my manager my plans now, giving him ample time to find a successor. Unfortunately, my company has a reputation and policy of immediately terminating anyone who reveals their unfaithful plans. The alternative is to remain silent until October and abandon my team during the last stages before release; a chaotic time in a project's life-cycle if history is anything to go by. I am confident that with this route, I will be forever hated. In the famous words of Jean Valjean, "If I speak, I am condemned. If I stay silent, I am damned."
