Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 1760929, member: 2265"] Orangeinjersey In this day and age, there is no way to handle it well. There's an old cliche, "its not personal, it's business". A lot of folks on this board take everything so personal. He took a job, and stayed for almost a year. Decided he could do better. For whatever reason, pay, hated the area, hated the people he was working with etc. I dont get why this board gets so emotional about people leaving for what they perceive to be greener pastures. I guarantee you EVERYONE in this board would leave their current job for a competitor if they got a 20% plus raise. Every single one. I turned down much more than a lousy 20% to keep my word and commitment. And I did more than once. I valued my word more than that. In the long run it paid me back in spades. It is not easy to have the character of your convictions, but in the end you have to live with yourself. [/QUOTE]
