I was pretty happy with my number last year, and I want to ensure that I remain happy. So I decided to engage in a little gamesmanship...
We just found out that the most senior guy in our group outside my boss is leaving very soon (on his own recognizance). I got handed a lot of his responsibilities, which I've been getting up to speed on (and I'm also keeping enough of my old responsibilities that I'm going to attempt to delegate to the more junior members of the group). I've therefore become a more critical element. So while in a one-on-one with my boss, I "joked" about what he would do once I decided to leave. He freaked the **** out. Giving me valuable information and leverage.
It turns out there's no rule against string betting in real life...![Smile](https://apolyton.net/core/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Yes, before you ask, I am very proud of myself
