EE-BO, thats a bit uncalled for what you just said. None of us except for Senusret really know what was going on in that workplace and I dare say that the workplace conditions there would have to be interesting at the very least for him to want to get out of there so quickly. Some people just don't gel well with some of the other people in their workplace on occasion and quite often they will decide to move on in order to keep their own mental well-being up. If this is the case, well that bridge was already burned well before this incident, even if he did have a good working relationship with most of his other colleagues.

Also who are we to lecture this guy about principals? I think that you just broke one just then, which is "don't judge, unless ye thee-self be judged".

This is the internet and people are asked to comment based on the facts presented in a given post. And I did. If you want to get technical about it, you have no place saying my comments were out of line.

Principles were stated as part of that post and I posed an honest question.

Has nothing to do with judging anyone.

Senurset has posted more info about things that he expected and stated to his boss when he took the job, and that changes things quite a bit from what the original post suggested.

In any event, I don't usually make posts like the one I did above. If I thought he was worthless I would have said nothing.

Instead I saw someone who clearly devotes his time to very worthy causes who made, based on the info first presented, the kind of career blunder that came come back to haunt you later in more ways that one.

And so my comment was intended to offer another perspective that I thought was valuable- and in a tone that I thought appropriate to stimulate thought. And if my thought was not wanted, this should not have been posted on a public internet board where I am a member.

I have had many jobs and bosses I hated- once I gave notice after 8 days on a new project. But I still have a positive reference if I need it because of how it was handled. I have also seen people burn bridges and not realize until long down the road what it had cost them.

Senurset- more power to you. We are strangers and I have no beef with you. I just thought you deserved more than a "good choice" comment about a major life event- or I would have left it alone entirely.

I genuinely wish you and all who give service to their communities well, but even these kinds of positions are "jobs" in a sense- and it pays to look out for yourself to a certain degree in practical terms as well as the ideals you espouse.
