Peter, when you have that much time, leaving at this point could have a serious impact on your 401k (depending on how that is structured, or uses some other device). That said, that would certainly be my first inclination, but depending on where he lives, he may not have options either the result of population (and lack of places to look), specific skill sets that are in demand everywhere - but not locally, which could involve a relocation - which is something that single entities look at with great freedom, but marrieds/ people with family and/or extended family do NOT.
So, yes, your first intuition is certainly the one that makes the most sense, I've found in my tenure as a recruiter, that the complications for some people - even people who knew, by the type of degree they had, that job bouncing was going to be a specific part of the greater rewards they would be party to, at other companies -- once they have parents nearby who are older, and a daughter who has prom coming up as well as a son who is a sport star of some sort, well.... they don't want to move, and neither does a spouse who might have all the same things going on, in addition to a career that has NO issues because of different structures.
So for that reason, I suggest that you and the 25 year old helper start making room in your schedule for midnight rendezvous. That way, you get the best of both worlds, and... she will understand better than anyone, what the boss revenge is like, having been part of the whole deal in the first place.
Plus, the videos you make could be worth something on the net, post divorce, and start an entire new genre.... "Union-Busting pRON!"
Note: Only half of this note is to be taken seriously. You must choose which half on your own.
