If you check the company handbook, they ‘own’ the technology that you developed and maintain. I know this from my 38 years in Systems and Data Processing. Being the ‘only person’ who understands and maintains a technology or process is an extreme liability to both company and employee.
When I was working, I had a colleague who thought this meant something special. When management learned about that exposure and opaqueness of the process he was gone. This is a good item to occupy a good chunk of your remaining time to document and pass it on to management.
I would use up just enough vacation to keep the bank full. I made sure to cash out the maximum amount of 68 days on the way out the door. Our company had a requirement for a 90-day notice to file the ‘intent-to-retire’ form. We used to joke about the “90-day retiree program” like a reality TV series. Just pick a solid date like July 15, 2025, to just say that is it.
