Well bide your time until that actually comes to pass.
As for your overreliance on work to define who you are, that is your choice.
I was 8 1/2 years at the other firm until I gave up on a fundamental discord with my former boss on whether I should be covering up shrapnel, small grenades, anything less than a nuclear bomb.
I'm done and I'm out after 7 1/2 here. I lost my office. I lost expensing things. I lost travelling for work. This year I lose my bonus. I lost my lady friend and her respect that I stayed here. I'm due to lose more and there's only so much a man can take.
I don't want to go in the office next day and lose whatever respect I have. My current boss is on a four year secondment. If he does what he promises, I'm just minding the shop here whilst he expands it when he returns home.
