This, to me, speaks to the issue more than all the other responses here. Yes, it's stupid to burn bridges and Yes, it accomplishes nothing. But more important than all of that is you never know when someone from your past is going to pop back up or in what capacity they'll be when they do. You risk making yourself a liability to a new employer if you've made enemies out of people they might want to partner with, hire, etc...
- byoung2 17y agoyou never know when someone from your past is going to pop back up Very true. In some cases, you may be the one to pop back up. I left my old company in part because I was brought on specifically to work on a number of projects that were later shelved because of the economic downturn. I eventually left to pursue them on my own, and they may be interested in buying the finished product. That possibility would be off the table if I had written a nasty letter when I left.
