There's No Shame In That....

The evening after my resignation, one of my bosses called me up and asked if I would like to stay on as a contractor helping to get "our technical ducks in a row", whatever that meant.. He also offered a couple more variations on that theme.  At the end of his pitch he said "And you know, if you choose to move on instead of continuing to work here, there's no shame in that.." What the what? Shame? Whatever could have given him the idea that what I was doing - leaving - was shameful, or that I thought what I was doing was shameful?  So odd.  There's a few reasons that come to mind as to why he could have brought up shame: 1.) He honestly thought I was ashamed of cutting the cord, and in his own ham-handed way was 'forgiving' me for my transgression. 2.) He was attempting to shame me into staying... (Not a good move - I am unshameable). 3.) He was pissed and was trying to provoke me with a jab cloaked in generosity..  Anyway - ick..  ~
