Don walking out was satisfying to see.
As someone who has spent 18 years at a once family owned business and is now technically corporate owned but still in the same buildings, I felt myself get uneasy with seeing the Sterling Cooper crew walking into McCan Erickson. I know there was more to Don making the decision to leave than that. But seeing Peggy wait until the last second to move. I know Peggy didn't have an office yet, but I'm pretty sure she was hesitating. Joan not liking the corporate setting. Don seeing ALL of those creative directors, etc. I'm not knocking it, I just felt like I would have the same reaction to all the sudden leaving the "mom and pop" feel to a major company.
