I have a number of friends who work at Google. Meanwhile, I've worked at a variety of small companies, from privately held to "startups". My advice is, hands down, to get on with the Googles of the world. They have actual c

I suppose it would be, if you had reason to believe there was a sufficient likelihood of a sufficiently negative outcome. It's probably not a concern for anyone reading this, though.

There are a number of reasons to "suffer" and suffering shouldn't be cast out as unethical because we don't like it in the current context. Please do provide some reasons why raping a day-old newborn infant wouldn&#x27

there's no upside to honesty in an exit interview. Wrong. As others are pointing out, by stifling your honest feedback you're harming the company and your now-former coworkers. All because you fear a hypothetical situation.

Because that's how people react when they quit I'm sorry, so you're now casting my comments under the light of the tautology you're declaring? The original post was about how it would have been a mistake if he had let

Please explain to me exactly the upside Explain to me the upside of honesty. but can definitely see risk and downside And this is the problem, in my opinion. People are being dishonest with themselves and others, promoting bad work env

Second. Its just not professional. You assumed that I'm promoting unprofessional behavior. In fact, you appear to be defining the entire discussion such that anything that disagrees with you is inherently unprofessional and, thus, a

That's why its better not to burn bridges This assumes the bridge isn't already burnt. If you worked for an incompetent a-hole, chances are he'll have a negative opinion of you regardless of your exit behavior. I've wa

This is a bit too black and white. The numerous Spanish-speaking men I saw at Autozone at around 10pm on Arizona (the only place I've lived where parts stores were open until 11pm) were good counterpoints[1]. The reality is that it com
