I thought the point of the story was that if you are unhappy...you get sac to go and pee on your boss's desk so that you have a hilarious story for the rest of your days...

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

I made no commitment to them.  I let them infer that I was a guy who wanted to help develop this new market for them, but nothing was expressly said.

Then I would do just as you did.

Quote from: sbrguy on June 25, 2010, 05:24:52 AM
unless you said "i will work for you till the day i die forever no matter what" then you have no comittment to them.
its a job.

That's the type of attitude that keeps people in jobs (several of them) and out of careers. 

Quote from: cyrus buelton on June 25, 2010, 06:08:12 AM
That is irrelevant if you are calling Company A his current employer, not the new one.

It's not irrelevant to people that keep their commitments. I have come to believe that Stu is that type of people.

Integrity and your word are always worth more then a few extra bucks. If a commitment is made you keep it unless the other side fails to keep their end of the deal.

your concern for the employers feelings should be directly proportional to how bad they would feel about letting you go.

Looks like I'm a bit late to the party here, but having left several jobs, a few things happen:

They're always butt hurt and you're the bad guy (so be it). Especially if you move to a competitor.

Never mention the new employer in your exit/resignation letter.

Do not sign your resignation "regretfully" try something more upbeat, or just Stu.

Thank them for what they did for you and leave it at that.

You signed no agreement to work there so as you said, "at will." Trust me never sign an agreement for employment it can suck to stick by your word sometimes.
