Leave it to Dad to make me paranoid about the way I quit
:eyes:

He says I did the "wrong thing" and should have flat out told them the truth. However, had I done that there could have been a scene as well the guy who got me the job would have been scorned by my boss cause they know each other, so I'm kinda protecting him.

Oh well.

5. I got a new job
And I told my present employers I quit for financial reasons...not entirely untrue. But I did it cause the guy that helped me get the new gig is a friend of my publisher and if she found out he helped...it could hurt their friendship

2. You don't owe a former employer SHIT, man.
Your dad's probably from that generation that was loyal to their jobs and the jobs were loyal to them in return.

This is the new millenia, and every boss is the Pointy-Haired Boss. They'd fuck you in a heartbeat, so if you didn't steal them blind when you left, your soul's clean.

When I heard the girl they hired three weeks ago may be let go because head office wants to move all the accounting to one spot

6. This seems like a no brainer to me. Your obligation to protect the
person who helped you get your new job far outweighs any loyalty you should feel towards your current employer. Am I missing something here?
