He was touring my facility, when he walked into my office, noticed I had multiple ssh sessions going on, had a mapping problem, and piles of hardware about. He shook my hand, and made a comment about IT running the organization. Yep.

I just resigned at my job. I had been there 4 years and had a pretty good relationship with my peers. I decided to start my own consulting business and gave my employer 30 days notice. He said great, I hope it works out for you, can you help me find a replacement. In the meantime, im working from hope setting up my new business! I have the same access as ever and will write up a document on all the procedures to lock me out of the system after I leave! I think any employer that has any common sense realizes that if someone was going to damange thier system, they could do it at any time any second before they resign. Any skilled sysadmin could also open backdoors or holes into the system after they resigned if they wanted to. I would be weary of working for a company that treats thier users as felons.
