I packed up working in 2009.
My skills were not so much in demand as irreplaceable at the time, but a voluntary early retirement package became available due to a company restructure.
I was the only bloke in the company who really understood all the 'ins and outs' of my job. The management had little idea and had left me alone to develop the department as I chose, 'cos I made it work! I was fed up with things there anyway, what with the penny pinching all round and having supposed senior engineers constantly picking my brains 'cos they didn't know their jobs.
So despite all sorts of persuasion, I decided to leave. I gather from former colleagues that it took the clueless employer a year to get my former work back up to speed. I've never looked back, let alone missed the job.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
