I worked for three years in a extremely customer driven company.
The last 1.5 of those I worked with what I consider two amazingly brilliant a####les.
I ended up leaving the most amazing place I had ever worked at until then (worldwide traveling, learning new stuff, actual high performance systems).
It has taken years to recover and I still cover myself more than I should.
My boss (who I liked) tried to get me back twice after he realized I had not been the problem and the two others had left but by then my salary had increased so much I was out of reach for him (edit:,) and telling my family I'd go down a double digit percentage in salary to work for someone who had not stood up for me back the was out of the question.
