^^ Listen to this! As a manager and developer as well, I 100% agree. If you are a great worker and your manager isn't incompetent, they will fight for you up the chain. But don't approach it abrasively at first. That just sets the wrong tone for everyone.

On the other hand, if a good manager doesn't care if you quit, it also says a lot. There are developers I was so relieved just quit. It wasn't worth it keeping them.

This also sends a signal though, if other employees know you let the guy go because remote wasn't an option then they're going to just assume their is no negotiation and quit.

Although some may see the extra leverage they now have because losing multiple people at once is far worse than losing a single person.
