I love this comment. Yep you are right, hanging in there is the smart move for most, it costs nothing to do and it might be fine. But I'm making a statement, trying to make a strong one. I'm willing to trash this account that I've been working on for a little over two years to signal the last few directional steps have been really bad, the leadership (which has been the same few guys btw, don't think they're going anywhere) aren't up to the challenge.
It's the strongest possible vote of no confidence I can think of.
