- valuearb 9y agoI didn't see "petty" in there. If you reread my comment, it didn't say he didn't have a good reason, just that he might have acted quickly or emotionally. Like many of us do.
- dpark 9y agoSo he's got a good reason to leave but the decision to leave is rash, foolhardy, reckless? These don't seem to fit together. If you leave for a legitimate reason, I'd hardly call that an impetuous decision.
- valuearb 9y agoIf you work in a good place with one huge flaw, and management assures you they will address the flaw, then you blow up one day because they haven't addressed it yet and quit, that's an impetuous decision for a good reason. It's not necessarily rash, foolhardy or reckless, since those are synonyms. In this case they are similar, but not exactly the same.
