Yeah... my heads up was all the messages about missing newsletter of the insider...
I would have found it better if they had done an annoucement with a sticky message in the lounge or at least in the B&S Forum, most of us are here over a decade too and have worked with the guys through a lot of situations.
A proper good bye to all of us usual CPians would have been more than justified.
I have only found a bit of info in people leaving, but nothing on what's going to be from now on with the site. And I am really sad about it, it doesn't show much respect for us the users.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

@chris-maunder Code Project changed my life in major ways. Very few things, besides the birth of a child, have done that in my life. So thank you and the team for incarnating Code Project and my best wishes to your family and finding wellness and balance. I hope everything is OK.

Ohhh that's sad.
Well deserved retirement from the zoo keeping tasks.
Been here 23+ years; I feel old.

The guilt and attachment about quitting is stressing her. I get it, I never left a company, I left friends and workers. But I see the same cancer in my thought process from 30 years ago raging through her, and this is her first job. When I was trying to decide to retire my "boss" actually very very good friend told me, "You don't worry about billion dollar corporations. We're too old for that sh*t."
So, you youngsters I'm telling you now, you live in a mercenary world. Don't forget it. Avoid buying into this corporate "we're all family" bull$hit. As soon as you can, start your own business.
Going to stop now. I'm angry.

It's been like that since man first emerged from the primeval slime.

Amen. Corporate is not your friend; they are there to extract the maximum they can from you with minimum compensation.

This is not necessarily true. Not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur, and not everyone is cut out to run a business. However, if one remains an employee, be mindful of my previous comment.
Tell your daughter that leaving employment is a business decision, and emotion should play no part in it. If the business would collapse without her input, she should either be paid a (lot!) more than she currently is, or the owner(s) should be looking to recruit additional experts in her field. If the business cannot afford to employ additional experts, perhaps it has no economic justification. In any case, it is not her concern!

Neither is HR, even though they'll claim otherwise.
Why would any company pay people to place their employees' interests above their own?

While this is true, emotions definitely play into these decisions.

I felt bad the first time: my mentor was a close friend (35 guests at my wedding, his family was 3 of them) and the company took me in as a very green graduate and helped me a lot. The company sucked, they paid a manual labor rate for engineers even after 10 years with them.
Second time I felt free: body rental jobs are soul crushing, especially when your competence is wasted to be a figurehead.

Hmmm, that reminds me of my first company. Myself and a buddy of mine - we graduated at the same time - both practically went in together begging for our first jobs in the field, but they only had the budget for one person. We offered to each work for half of the money. The way we both saw it, getting our foot in the door and making names for ourselves was more important than the actual paycheck.
They hired us, a few years later we were both working there full-time, then my friend left, but I didn't get much in terms of a raise. It's only when management went through a shuffle and - essentially - another coworker of mine became my boss, reviewed all individual employee files, and told me he was "disgusted" when he found out how little they paid me. Literal quote. I did get a healthy raise that year, and my boss admitted he was aiming at giving me even more but couldn't pull it off "in one go". My salary did increase steadily year after year after that.
In hindsight, I did let myself get advantage of at the start. After the first year...and especially after my friend left - I ought to have put my foot down.
